EASYDRIVE®
Enables effortless patient transportation done by one caregiver without need of any initial pushing force for acceleration (3)
Easy Patient Transportation
Challenges
- Pushing and pulling occupied beds is considered a high-risk task for developing MSDs due to spinal load (1)
- Maneuverability of the bed in narrow hospital corridors
- An occupied bed needs to be transported by 2 caregivers (2)
SOLUTIONS
5TH CASTOR
Turning and maneuvering the bed with less effort even in narrow corridors or around corners.
SOFTBRAKES®
Ensure effortless pedal activation, offering a 56-93% force reduction compared to the maximum acceptable level (4).
CENTRAL BRAKE SYSTEM
The Essenza pedals are easily accessible and ensure an ergonomic posture while braking the bed.
