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.​
