Porters and nurses bring the stretcher alongside a bed, lock both braked castors, lower the side rails and slide the patient across. Once the patient is settled, the rails are raised to prevent falls, an infusion bag is hung on the head-end IV pole, and the patient’s notes, oxygen cylinder or belongings travel on the mesh shelf below. The backrest ratchet allows a patient who cannot lie flat to be transported semi-upright, while the corner bumpers protect walls and door frames on busy routes.
Anti-static wheels and cover make the stretcher suitable for areas where static build-up should be avoided. Hospitals preparing laboratory equipment tenders in India alongside their ward and casualty furniture often specify this model for every transfer point. Clean the cover and rails with disinfectant after each patient and check that the brakes lock fully.
The stretcher is manufactured in Ambala, Haryana by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company that owns and operates the ScienceLab brand. We supply patient-handling furniture to hospitals, clinics and training institutions and can discuss specification points with your biomedical or procurement team.
