BeasyTrans Easy Transfer Systems Beasy II, 27 1/2" Transfer Board Product Description:
- Also check out the "new" Microban Beasy Boards!!!
Product Description
The Beasy boards provide upright, dignified lateral slides, unlike any other lift or transfer device currently on the market. No lifting means that soreness and injury to the patient's shoulders and arms are greatly reduced. In addition, the Beasy technology is "tissue-friendly." The friction caused by movement is absorded by the system, not the user's skin.

My husband has ALS and has lost the ability to stand, even with assistance. At the suggestion of our daughter-in-law, a Physical Therapist, we purchased the 27 1/2" Beasy II Transfer Board partly because I cannot lift more than 35 lbs due to another medical condition and because most of the transfers we need to make are in limited spaces (a very important consideration when deciding between the different sizes of Beasy Board). The Beasy has made it possible to move my husband, with minimal assistance from me,from his power wheelchair on and off the bed, the tub transfer bench,and the commode. He can even do some transfers without my assistance. His power wheelchair has an elevator feature, so we are even able to move him with the Beasy Board into and out of the front seat of our Jeep. The Beasy was a little "scarey" to use at first, but easy to master (after viewing a YouTube video). It's a little difficult to get him onto the Beasy Board if he doesn't have clothes on (the Beasy tends to stick to bare skin) but still do-able. If I position the two surfaces (the slide from and the slide to) so there's a slight down-ward slope (and I do mean slight) the Beasy slides even easier than when flat. The Beasy Board seemed a little expensive when we ordered it, but having the Beasy Board has meant we can delay and maybe even avoid (??)the expense of a Hoyer Lift and/or an accessible wheelchair van. The Beasy Board is much easier to use than a straight sliding board and worth every penny. We are really glad we bought it.

My husband is a T3 paraplegic. While this board is good for me if he needs help transferring, it is not good for independent transfers. It really is a 2 person job as the person using it must lift up or lean over for the other to slide it under the hip. Then, it is a simple matter for the caregiver to slide the person over. Or the person using it to grab something and pull him/herself over. I would say that this board is more for caregivers than it is for independent use. And definitely watch the videos as it take some coordination to use.

The item performs as advertised and the supplier is reliable. I feel the cost is out of line.
