Why Choosing the Right Stretcher Matters
Hospital stretchers are essential for patient transfer, especially in emergency and intensive care settings. Choosing the right stretcher can make a big difference to patient safety and comfort.
Key features include adjustable height, smooth mobility with lockable wheels, durable construction and side safety rails. ERPOMED hospital stretchers are designed to withstand frequent use while keeping the patient stable and comfortable.
Hospitals looking for reliable transfer solutions should see high-quality stretchers as a vital investment.
What Is a Stretcher?
A stretcher is generally defined as a platform on which injured people and patients are carried, and it can be produced in many different models. Specific stretcher types are used depending on the condition of the patient or casualty being transported. For example, a portable patient transport stretcher is used for practical, everyday handling, so the patient can be moved from one place to another very quickly. When a patient has had an accident and needs urgent intervention, the emergency team reaches the patient with a stretcher and carries them safely.
What Are the Types of Stretchers?
As mentioned above, patient transport stretchers come in many different models. Erpomed models include:
- Wheeled stretcher
- Helicopter stretcher
- Scoop stretcher
- Standing stretcher
- Slide-type stretcher
- Floating stretcher
- Folding stretcher
- Telescopic stretcher
- Non-folding (standard) stretcher
- Operating room transfer stretcher
- Functional emergency stretcher
- General-purpose stretcher
- Hydraulic emergency stretcher
Many other patient transport stretchers are available as well. That is why it is so important to determine the most suitable stretcher model for transporting patients safely.
A Closer Look at the Main Stretcher Types
Wheeled stretchers
Stretchers are used to carry sick or injured people. The wheeled patient stretcher, which moves the patient on wheels according to the area of use and the patient's condition, is often used for first-aid purposes. It has a fixed, non-folding mechanism and is used to carry the patient or casualty from the ambulance to the examination area. Being the same size as a patient bed, the wheeled stretcher ensures that the patient is transported safely.
Stair stretchers
Sometimes patients cannot be brought down from their homes or workplaces by elevator. In that case, the patient has to be carried down the stairs, and a stair-type patient stretcher is used. These stretchers allow the patient to be taken down the stairs safely. Because they help prevent handling errors by staff, they are very important for patient safety.
Patient transfer stretchers
These stretcher models are used to transfer the patient to another hospital, to the operating room or home. A patient transfer stretcher, which makes it easy to pick up the patient and move them elsewhere, can be wheeled, skid-based, stair-type or fixed. The most suitable model is chosen according to the patient's condition. For example, if the patient has to be moved to a place without elevator access, stair transfer stretchers are used. Among these models, the operating room transfer stretcher allows the patient to be taken safely to surgery.
