The stretchers of the SLIM series have been studied and projected to answer to the needs connected to the first aid and the movement in the hospital wards. The adjustable height allows to transfer easily the patient from any room to a diagnostic device, and viceversa.
Light to move and easy and quick to clean: this means high quality and efficiency.

STRUCTURE
The structure is made of high thickness steel tubes, with rounded corners, bent in wide bending radius. It is varnished with epoxy powders which are especially suited for this kind of item thanks to their high mechanical resistance and the great protection against corrosion and the chemical agents used in hospitals for sanitization and maintenance operations.

LATERAL BUMPER BARS
The stretcher is equipped with lateral bumper bars made of oval section steel tubes varnished with epoxy powders. Hooks are placed on the outer joints of the stretcher. Bars are protected along their whole length by bumpers made of soft non-marking plastic material.

LYING SURFACE
The lying surface is divided into 2 sections made of plastic, radiotransparent 10 mm-thick HPL laminate, which are fixed to the lower frame by means of self-locking screws which disappear inside the frame. The four corners - covered with ABS carter - are equipped with:
- Ø 100 mm bumper wheels made in non-marking rubber,
- supports for accessories (listed in the catalog).
RADIOTRANSPARENT SURFACE L 1500 / W 445 mm
WORKING AREA L 2000 / W 650mm
An image intensifier can be placed on either side of the stretcher.

MOVEMENTS
The adjustable height is regulated by two columns moved with oil pumps. The height adjustment and Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg movements are activated by two bilateral pedals. The backrest section is moved through a single lever on the head side. The pelvis/foot section is fixed and the mattress is blocked by two steel railings on the foot side.

BASE
The base and the columns are protected by a carter made of thermoformed plastic material which is easy to clean; the design is also aesthetically appealing and allows to place two 3/7 litre oxygen tanks tight with belts and one case for clothes or various objects.

HYGIENE
All coating materials are treated with Biomaster 999 antimicrobials.
All the structures painted with thermosetting powders are protected by a mixture of epoxy resins, polyester resins with the addition of a Biomaster 999 antimicrobial additive which guarantees a specific sanitizing and surface disinfecting activity. From precise tests carried out by IMSL MICROBIOLOGICAL SERVICES LTD, these paints resulted to have a high bactericidal action, equivalent in percentage: Staphylococcus aureus 99.9%, escherichiacoli 90.8%, pseudomonas aeruginosa 92.4%.
These particular features facilitate disinfection operations and guarantee maximum asepsis.
