Stretch Mattress, High Resilient Foam

Stretch Mattress, High Resilient Foam

The Stretch Mattress, High Resilient Foam is a purpose-built support surface designed for use on medical stretchers in emergency, transport, and clinical environments. Constructed from high resilient (HR) foam, it provides consistent body support while helping maintain patient comfort during short- to medium-duration stays on a stretcher. Its stretch-compatible design integrates smoothly with common stretcher frames, enabling safe patient handling and reliable positioning during movement between departments, diagnostic areas, and treatment rooms.

High resilient foam is selected for its ability to conform gently to body contours while returning to shape after use. This balance supports stable patient posture and helps reduce pressure concentration during transport. The mattress is suitable for a wide range of patient types and care scenarios, including pre-hospital transfer, intra-facility transport, and procedural waiting areas where a stretcher is used as the primary surface.

Comfort and Support for Transport

The foam core promotes even weight distribution to support the head, torso, hips, and heels during movement. By reducing excessive sinking and limiting bottoming-out, it helps maintain alignment during turns, braking, and elevator transitions. This stable support can improve tolerance for transport and reduce the need for frequent repositioning.

Hygiene and Clinical Practicality

Designed for clinical workflows, the Stretch Mattress supports routine cleaning and turnaround between patients. Its surface is intended to be compatible with standard facility cleaning protocols when used with appropriate disinfectants as directed by local policy. The construction is suited to high-traffic areas where consistent performance and straightforward handling are required.

Stretcher Compatibility and Handling

Shaped for stretcher use, the mattress is intended to fit securely within typical stretcher mattress platforms. It supports common patient-handling practices such as lateral transfers, slide sheets, and immobilization accessories used in transport settings. The HR foam core helps the mattress maintain form over repeated cycles of use, supporting predictable handling and patient positioning.

Typical Applications

• Emergency department and triage stretchers
• Intra-hospital patient transport
• Imaging and procedure waiting on stretchers
• Ambulance transfer and receiving areas

Ordering and Use Notes

Select the mattress size and thickness appropriate to the specific stretcher model and intended clinical use. Ensure the mattress is placed flat and secured per stretcher manufacturer guidance before patient loading. Inspect regularly for integrity and cleanliness, and replace according to facility policy and observed wear.
