A manual device used by healthcare professionals to assist in the physical movement and transfer of a person/patient (e.g., a hospitalized, a person with a disability, or a geriatric) from one position to another. The device typically has no lifting capabilities and utilizes sliding techniques to move the person. It is typically designed to transfer a person sideways from, e.g., a bed to a chair, or a bed to an operating table, or an operating table to a bed. It may be constructed as a solid sliding board with a low-friction surface, or a roller board (roller system in a framework).
