ROLLING STRETCHERS

A rolling stretcher, also known as an ambulance stretcher or gurney, is a medical transport device used to carry injured or immobile patients safely from one location to another. It is commonly used in ambulances, hospitals, emergency rooms, and other medical settings where patient transportation is required.

The rolling stretcher typically consists of a sturdy frame with wheels, allowing it to be easily moved and maneuvered by medical personnel. It often has an adjustable height feature, enabling smooth transfers between different surfaces, such as beds, stretchers, or exam tables.

Some rolling stretchers are equipped with folding or collapsible sides, which can be raised to secure the patient during transport and lowered for easier access and transfer. Additionally, some models have a built-in locking mechanism to prevent unintentional movements during transportation.

Rolling stretchers are designed with padding or mattresses to provide comfort and support for patients during transport. They may also have safety belts or straps to secure the patient in place and prevent unnecessary movement.
