stabilized stretcher support

What does the Stabilized Stretcher Support do?

It eliminates forces that pulls us sideways on the stretcher during ambulance transport. 

The stabilized stretcher support is mounted between the stretcher and the ambulance floor. A stabilization platform. The red-colored parts in the picture below indicate the stretcher support parts. The stabilization of a platform is achieved by a stretcher support using electrical motors that are controlled by advanced computer algorithms and sensor technology.

How does Stabilized Stretcher Support​ work?

Lateral forces that impact the patient during the ambulance transport, are eliminated by tilting the stretcher to counteract these sideways forces. The patient will then not be pulled sideways when the ambulance is driving through a curve.

a stabilized ride provides

  • A calmer ride
  • More comfort
  • Less pain
  • Less anxiety
  • Less exhaustion
  • Less carsickness

Ambulance transport with or without stabilization

Sideways forces

Braking and acceleration forces will also be reduced by the stretcher support. The patient will get a significantly reduced amount of blood rushing to the head and avoid internal organs moving aft and forward.

The stabilization function can be easily deactivated, also during the ride, e.g., if the patient desires to, or needs to be transported unstabilized.

Non-Stabilized, in a Curve

The ambulance is turning and the patient is pulled sideways in the stretcher by the centripetal force.

Stabilized, in a Curve

The stretcher support is tilted sideways during turning and the patient is not pulled sideways.

non-stabilized, during breaking

The force from the ambulance breaking is pulling the patient forward.

stabilized, during breaking

The stretcher support counteracts the breaking force and the patient is not pulled forward.

Stabilized, during acceleration/speeding up

The stretcher support counteracts the acceleration and the patient is not pulled backwards.

Stabilized, driving or parking in a hill

The stretcher support counteracts the effect of the steep road. You are in level.
