This non-electric stretcher features a standard litter size of approximately 84 inches long by 33 inches wide, supporting a safe working load of 300 pounds (136 kg). It uses hydraulic foot pedals for height adjustment (typically 25.5 to 35 inches at litter top) and Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg positioning, with mechanical linkages for the Fowler backrest (0–90°) and knee gatch.
Key Features
- Positioning Controls: Foot pump pedals raise/lower litter height and activate ± Trendelenburg; manual crank or handle for knee gatch flexion to aid venous return and patient comfort post-anesthesia.
- Safety and Mobility: Full-length fold-down side rails, body restraints, 8-inch casters with central-locking brakes, integrated oxygen bottle holder, and utility tray for monitors/IV bags during transport.
- PACU-Specific Design: Wider litter surface than ED models (e.g., 926), compatible with dedicated 946 PACU stretcher pads (standard or ultra-comfort foam), and built for frequent transfers between OR, PACU, and imaging
