• Hygiene and sanitization: AISI 304 stainless steel resistant to corrosion and easily sanitized, complying with health protocols for mortuary facilities.
• Fluid management: removable tray on slides and integrated drainage hole simplify cleaning operations and biological waste disposal.
• Controlled handling: 4 wheels with 2 brakes allow safe movement and stability during transport without risk of slipping.
• Easy access: absence of lid allows rapid inspection of the body and facilitates preparation and identification operations.
• Durability: stainless steel structure guarantees long-term resistance and no degradation in humid and cold environments.
• Italian reliability: Made in Italy construction ensures compliance with national and European regulations on the handling of bodies.

The body transport stretcher finds its primary use in mortuary and cemetery facilities, where it is used for moving bodies from storage rooms to preparation areas, the thanatopraxy laboratory, or the mortuary. It is also used in nursing homes, hospitals, and healthcare facilities for post-mortem transport within hospital environments.

It is also suitable for funeral agencies and companies managing internal body transport before burial or cremation, as well as in forensic medicine institutes and forensic facilities where practical handling and hygiene are critical requirements.

This stretcher represents the correct choice when the need is to combine structural robustness, rigorous hygiene, and ease of sanitization in a hospital or mortuary context. AISI 304 stainless steel is the international standard for biocontaminated environments, guaranteeing resistance to corrosion even after repeated sanitization with aggressive detergents.

It is preferable when integrated management of biological fluids is required through a removable tray and incorporated drain, reducing cross-contamination risks and simplifying structural decontamination operations. The braking wheels ensure safe movement even on inclined planes or in transit between environments.

Operational prerequisite is having spaces with flooring suitable for rolling (not rough) and staff trained on correct handling to avoid damage to the structure and ensure dignity in body transport.

What is the difference between this stretcher and a stretcher with a lid?

The stretcher without a lid allows for immediate inspection of the body, facilitates preparation, washing, and treatment operations, and is preferred in contexts where the body remains visible during procedures. A stretcher with a lid is chosen when it is necessary to protect the body during long transports or in public environments. This version prioritizes internal functionality and procedural hygiene.

Is AISI 304 stainless steel compliant with European regulations for biomedical environments?

Yes. AISI 304 stainless steel is widely certified according to EN 10088-1 European standards for corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. It is regularly used in healthcare, mortuary facilities, and forensic medicine laboratories in compliance with EU directives on biological waste management and national regulations on body handling.

Is the collection tray compatible with standard disposal systems?

Yes. The removable tray is designed to be easily detached from the slides and emptied into certified biological waste collection containers. The design ensures compatibility with standard hospital and funeral waste management systems.

What are the recommended cleaning procedures?

AISI 304 stainless steel tolerates standard hospital detergents, chlorine-based disinfectants up to 500 ppm, and pressurized steam. Avoid highly acidic or alkaline corrosive detergents. The removable tray can be cleaned separately with hot water and disinfectant, accelerating decontamination times between uses.

Does the weight of 32 kg make the stretcher easy to maneuver for one person?

The weight is balanced on the 4-wheel structure, making pushing easy on flat surfaces. However, transporting the body (which can weigh significantly) still requires adequate physical strength. The two braking wheels control speed on descents, but handling is usually conducted by at least two people to ensure safety and dignity.
