In collaboration with Stryker®, Paraid has recently launched a new conversion kit for frontline ambulance stretchers. The Adapter+ kit will enable standard, Stryker® Power-PRO TL and XT ambulance stretcher models to be easily converted into medium-dependency, critical care stretchers.
Paraid specialises in the design and manufacture of innovative patient handling transportation solutions for hospitals, pre-hospital care and road ambulances. It is a recognised leader and innovator in providing bespoke medical transportation equipment.
Accommodating a wider spectrum of patient care needs
The recent COVID-19 outbreak has placed increased levels of demand on the UK’s healthcare services, requiring frontline stretchers to accommodate a wider range of patient needs. By converting traditional ambulance stretchers, the Adapter+ kit enables them to become more suitable for a greater range of care needs, making its role all the more important in these challenging times. It also ensures the safe and secure storage of additional, vital medical apparatus and critical care equipment for safe transportation.
The kit is easily interchangeable, meaning that depending on the patients’ individual needs, care teams are able to modify the configuration of equipment that’s stored, including patient monitors, ventilators, infusion pumps and syringe drivers.
The Adapter+ kit can be easily retrofitted to standard, Stryker® Power-PRO TL and XT ambulance stretchers, enabling paramedics, critical care teams and other, frontline hospital teams to deliver enhanced levels of support for critical care patients.
The Adapter+ has also been crash tested to perform in line with the highest safety standards (BS EN 1789).
