• Hygiene and sterilizability: stainless steel allows for deep cleaning and frequent sanitization, essential in hospital contexts with high hygienic standards.
• Operational privacy: the rotating cover allows for discrete transport, reducing visibility and emotional impact in common areas of the hospital.
• Controlled maneuverability: the braking wheel system on two axes allows for stable positioning and precise movement, minimizing sliding risks.
• Durability and reliability: the stainless steel structure resists decades of intensive use without degradation, reducing the need for replacement.
• Adequate load capacity: the 300 kg capacity covers almost all clinical cases, ensuring versatility of use.
• Ease of positioning: standardized dimensions (208×78×116 cm) guarantee compatibility with hospital corridors, elevators, and storage spaces.

The mortuary transport stretcher is intended for hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities that require private and dignified internal transport. Typically used in the morgue, pathology department, emergency room, and during transfer to embalming or cremation centers.

It is also used in long-term care facilities, nursing homes, and care homes where the dignified management of the deceased represents a qualitative aspect of the service. Suitable for any hospital environment requiring high standards of discretion and hygienic compliance.

Choose this stretcher when the hospital or healthcare facility needs to reconcile operational efficiency, high hygiene, and respect for people. It is the correct choice for those who do not intend to compromise on material quality and privacy during internal transport.

It represents the operational prerequisite when the facility works with significant daily flows and cannot afford maintenance downtime. Stainless steel eliminates risks of contamination and degradation, unlike alternative materials. Also suitable for facilities that have adopted strict biosafety protocols or operate in contexts where dignified management is part of institutional responsibility.

What are the differences compared to a standard patient transport stretcher?

A mortuary transport stretcher differs from a patient stretcher mainly in its rotating cover, which ensures total privacy, and in the lack of medical devices such as IV poles or side rail systems. It is also optimized for internal hospital environments (morgue, corridors) rather than for external transport. The structure is identically robust, but the specifications are designed for dignity and discretion.

Is stainless steel really sterilizable in a hospital environment?

Yes. 304 or 316 stainless steel (standard in the medical field) withstands cleaning with chemical disinfectants, pressurized steam, and even autoclaving at moderate temperatures. It does not undergo corrosion and does not release toxic particles, making it ideal for contexts where hygiene and biosafety are priorities.

Can the rotating cover get stuck?

The rotating cover is designed for smooth rotation. Routine maintenance (regular cleaning, light lubrication of the hinges) prevents jamming. It does not require complex technical interventions.

How much maximum weight can it support during transport?

The maximum guaranteed load capacity is 300 kg. This value covers almost all cases, including people of robust build, without compromising the stability or maneuverability of the stretcher.

Are the wheels quiet during movement?

The polymer wheels are designed to reduce noise compared to metal materials. The braking system allows for controlled movement without sudden jerks, an important aspect in hospital contexts where environmental discretion is appreciated.

What hospital and safety regulations does this stretcher comply with?

The stretcher complies with safety standards for hospital equipment, including regulations on stability, capacity, and hygiene (ISO 7175-2 for adapted sanitary stretchers). The stainless steel construction meets the biosafety and sterilizability requirements provided by international hospital protocols.
