ABSTRACT:
A patient lift board for manipulation by a single attendant of a patient having back complications and being confined to a bed. The lift board is rigid having one smooth side for sliding contact with the bed surface. The opposing side of the rigid board is covered with a padding for contacting a patient from a point on the patient's back at the lower end of the spine to a point at the back of the patient's head. A plurality of hand holds are provided about the periphery of the rigid board for manual engagement by the attendant. A wedge member is configured with horizontally opposed base and apex and having a side for contacting the bed surface and an opposing side for contacting the smooth surface of the rigid board, thereby elevating the patient's head above the bed surface while simultaneously supporting the patient's back.
