• Reduction of biomechanical stress: the 4-handle configuration allows for an ergonomic grip that minimizes the risk of lumbar injuries for healthcare workers.
• Comfort and stability: the internal polyurethane core cushions impacts and stabilizes the patient’s body, avoiding sagging during translation.
• High breathability: the natural cotton fiber covering reduces the accumulation of heat and moisture, respecting the integrity of the patient’s skin tissues.
• Operational efficiency: the compact and flexible structure allows for quick positioning even in cramped spaces or on different support surfaces.
• Certified hygiene: the possibility of washing at 30°C ensures the maintenance of the hygiene standards necessary in community or clinical environments.

The device finds primary use in the hospital setting for moving patients between departments and diagnostic rooms. It is widely used in Nursing Homes (RSA) and retirement homes to facilitate hygiene and bed-making operations. In emergency-urgency settings, the stretcher is a fundamental support on board ambulances, while in the home setting it supports caregivers in the daily management of patients with limited motor autonomy.

The H983_12 stretcher is the right choice when it is necessary to combine lightness and resistance for loads up to 80 kg. Compared to standard transfer sheets, the specific padding offers structural support that protects the patient’s spine during transit. It is the ideal solution for facilities requiring a reusable and washable aid, capable of lasting over time if stored away from heat sources and direct light.

What is the difference between this stretcher and a simple transfer sheet?

Unlike simple sheets, this model includes polyurethane foam padding that offers protection against impacts and greater postural stability for the patient during movement.

Is it possible to use the device for patients weighing more than 80 kg?

No, the maximum capacity of 80 kg is calculated to ensure the structural integrity of the handles and fabric; exceeding this limit compromises the safety of the patient and operators.

What are the maintenance and washing regulations?

The device must be washed at a maximum temperature of 30°C. The use of bleach, tumble drying, or ironing is not allowed, as excessive heat would damage the internal synthetic padding.

How many operators are required for safe use?

Although it depends on the patient’s condition, use by at least two trained operators is recommended to ensure balanced weight distribution and a smooth transfer.
