Hospital stretcher: how to choose the right model
Looking for a hospital stretcher? Don’t overthink it. Use these four core criteria to find the best model for your department.
1. Use in different departments
If you need a patient trolley primarily for transporting patients, it may be simple such as Stretcher SL. But, when it comes to use in emergency departments, it has to offer more. Stretcher X and Strecher X2 are designed to suit the most demanding working conditions.

2. Patient safety and comfort
Patient well-being and safety are always the top priority.
- Safety rails: patented, extra strong and durable
- Comfort: 6, 8 or 10 cm thick mattress & flexible positioning to support patients’ conditions
- Storage space: for patient’s personal items
3. Features for staff
