Easy Patient Transportation


CHALLENGES

  • Manuevering beds through narrow hospital corridors is physically demanding for nurses.
  • Nurses spend 31 minutes per day tranporting or transfering patients. (1)
  • Moving hospital beds requires significantly more force than stretchers, increasing caregiver strain and injury risk. (2)

SOLUTIONS

i-Drive Power®

Reduces the physical effort of patient transport with motorization, simplifying operation to the push of a button with a 5km (3.1 mi) range.

✓ Reduces transport-related MSD costs
✓ Reduces initial push forces, compared to the recommended levels without motorization

SAFETYSENSE®

SafetySense® detects the caregiver's hand and immediately stops the bed when the hand is removed.

5TH CASTER

Enables easier turning and maneuvering of the bed, even in narrow corridors or around corners.

SIDERAIL OVERRIDE WITH LATERAL TILT

Allows the siderails to be lowered for easier access and smoother patient transfers to a stretcher or another surface.
