Solutions

Sprint 200 offers great solution for patient transport with or without motorized castor.

i-Drive Power® reduces the manpower needed for driving to a push of a button and can lead to up to 80% reduction in cost of transport-related MSDs(4). Thanks to Safety Sense sensors, it stops just as quickly when the hand is removed.
 
Without motorization, the initial push forces are reduced by 77% compared to recommended norm(5).

Constant ergonomic posture

Thanks to innovative IV&Drive® concept, caregivers can push the stretcher from any height.

Ergonomic braking

Releasing or activating the brakes by pushing the foot lever down with clear visibility on brakes supports ergonomic working.
