Stretcher Mattress

Stretcher Mattress

The Stretcher Mattress is a medical-grade support surface designed to improve patient comfort and positioning during transport, triage, imaging transfers, and extended stays on a stretcher. Built for use in emergency departments, ambulance services, outpatient procedure areas, and inpatient transport teams, it provides a stable, cushioned platform that helps reduce pressure concentration while maintaining the firm handling characteristics required for safe movement.

Its multi-layer foam core balances immersion and support to help distribute body weight across the surface, supporting key pressure areas such as the sacrum, shoulders, and heels. The mattress profile is optimized for stretcher use, preserving edge stability to assist with patient transfers and to reduce “bottoming out” when staff apply load during repositioning. A non-slip base helps minimize shifting on the stretcher deck, supporting consistent alignment during turns and braking.

Key Features

• Pressure-distributing foam construction to enhance comfort during transport and holding.
• Fluid-resistant, low-friction cover designed to support lateral transfers and reduce shear forces.
• Welded seams and covered zipper to help limit fluid ingress and support infection-control protocols.
• Non-slip underside to help keep the mattress positioned on common stretcher platforms.
• Radiolucent foam design suitable for many imaging workflows where a removable mattress is preferred.
• Contoured corners for easier fitting on standard stretcher frames and improved edge control.
• Compatible with safety restraints and stretcher side rails when used per facility policy.

Materials and Construction

The Stretcher Mattress features resilient, high-density foam engineered for repeated use in demanding clinical environments. The outer cover is a durable medical-grade fabric that is fluid-resistant and easy to wipe down. Seams are engineered to withstand frequent cleaning cycles while maintaining surface integrity. The cover texture is designed to balance grip and glide: secure enough to help prevent unwanted movement, yet smooth enough to support patient transfers using slide sheets or transfer boards.

Cleaning and Infection Control

The mattress is designed for routine wipe-clean disinfection between patients and for scheduled deep cleaning based on facility protocol. The cover can be cleaned with commonly used healthcare disinfectants when used according to the chemical manufacturer’s instructions. Allow the surface to remain wet for the required contact time, then dry thoroughly before reuse. Inspect regularly for punctures, seam separation, or zipper damage to help maintain barrier performance.

Clinical Use and Safety

This product is intended for patient support on a stretcher under supervision of trained healthcare professionals. Always use stretcher restraints and side rails per clinical judgment and facility policy. Do not use if the cover is compromised or if the mattress no longer returns to shape after unloading. Replace according to condition, usage intensity, and infection-control requirements.
