The ultimate patient transfer toolbox is simple.  It contains three tools that will allow you to transfer the majority of your patients without large bulky machines or assistants.  The tools are small enough that they can be carried in one hand.  The correct use of these simple tools will reduce the transfer weight of your patient by 90%.  This means a 250lb man now weighs 25lbs so even a small caregiver can transfer a much larger patient without risk of injury to either party.  So what is in the toolbox.  They are the gait belt, the slide board and the lateral transfer plate also known as the secure swivel.   Watch the video’s on www.nolifttransfers to see how it is done.  You will be surprised at how simple a balance pivot transfer really can be.
