SLIM
4-section stretcher, variable height, with vertical compass side rails
The SLIM series stretchers are the result of extensive research into functionality, ergonomics, and the specific demands of diverse clinical settings. The adjustable height feature streamlines patient transfers between any ward environment and diagnostic equipment
FRAME & STRUCTUREThe frame is constructed from heavy-gauge steel profiles with rounded corners and wide-radius bends. It is finished with epoxy powder coating, chosen for its high mechanical resistance and superior protection against corrosion and harsh chemical disinfectants used in hospital sanitation and maintenance.
MATTRESS PLATFORMThe 4-section mattress platform is proportionally sized to maximize patient comfort.
- Material: 10 mm HPL (High-Pressure Laminate), fully radiolucent.
- Fixing: Secured to the lower frame with self-locking flush-mount screws.
- HPL Composition: Produced according to UNI EN 438:2019, featuring a kraft paper core impregnated with phenolic resins and a decorative outer layer with aminoplastic resins, bonded under high pressure and heat.
- Compliance: Tested according to UNI EN 438:2019, EN ISO 178, ISO 1183-1, EN 12664:2001, and ASTM D696-16.
- Operating Surface: 2000 x 650 mm.
RADIOLUCENCY & FLUOROSCOPYThe design eliminates structural elements between the platform and the cassette holder.
- X-Ray Guides: Standard chrome-plated rails run the full longitudinal length, allowing total-body X-rays without moving critical patients.
- C-Arm Accessibility: The dual-column end-positioning provides a large clear area beneath the platform, allowing C-arm image intensifier access from both sides.
- Fluoroscopy Surface: 1500 x 445 mm.
INTEGRATED SIDE RAILSEquipped with total-disappearance vertical-drop side rails featuring a dampened descent.
- Operation: One-handed operation; gas-spring damping prevents sudden drops and finger-trapping.
- Materials: Made of FV30 polypropylene with soft, anti-trauma integral polyurethane handrails.
- Dimensions: Height from platform: 375 mm; Length: 1425 mm; Vertical bar spacing: 235 mm.
- Safety: Flush-mount design allows for seamless lateral patient transfer.
MOVEMENTS & ADJUSTMENTS- Height Adjustment: Variable from 58 cm to 88.7 cm via two independent, hermetically sealed hydraulic telescopic columns (IP64 rated).
- Trendelenburg/Reverse-Trendelenburg: Actuated via bilateral foot pedals.
- Backrest: Controlled by dual gas pistons with a full-perimeter grab-bar at the head end.
- Sections: Fixed pelvic section to prevent abdominal compression; gas-spring assisted leg section with bilateral levers; semi-automatic 6-position dual rack for the foot section.
BUMPERS & PROTECTION- Lateral Bumpers: Oval-section epoxy-coated steel bars protected by full-length non-marking soft plastic.
- 4-Corner Protection: ABS end-covers featuring four Ø 100 mm non-marking rubber bumper wheels and four integrated sockets for I.V. poles or accessories.
BASE & MOBILITYThe base is enclosed in a thermoformed plastic shroud with integrated storage:
- Oxygen Cylinder Holders: Dual slots for 3/7/10-liter tanks with securing straps.
- Aesthetics: Standard colored decals for ward identification (customizable for orders >20 units).
- Castors: Four Ø 200 mm non-marking swiveling castors on ball bearings.
- Option A: 4 wheels (1 directional, 2 antistatic).
- Option B: 4 wheels + 5th wheel system.
- Braking: Simultaneous 4-wheel braking via bilateral pedals at all four corners.
HYGIENE & ASEPSIS- Antimicrobial Treatment: All coating materials are treated with Biomaster 999.
- Efficacy: Lab-tested (IMSL) to reduce bacterial load: Staphylococcus aureus 99.9%, E. coli 90.8%, Pseudomonas aeruginosa 92.4%.
- Design: Total drainage design prevents fluid stagnation, ensuring easy access for disinfection.
