Gurney vs Stretcher?

In medical terminology, the terms "gurney" and "stretcher" are often used interchangeably, but they serve distinct purposes in patient care. A gurney typically refers to a wheeled stretcher with collapsible legs, primarily used for short-term transport within medical facilities or ambulances. It often features a narrow design for easy maneuverability in tight spaces. On the other hand, a stretcher generally denotes a broader category of patient transport devices that may include fixed or adjustable beds used for longer-term patient care and transport. Both are essential tools in healthcare settings, providing comfort and stability during patient transfers and emergencies.

What are the Different Types of Medical Stretchers?

Medical stretchers come in various types, each designed to cater to specific medical needs and environments:

  1. Standard Transport Stretchers: These are basic stretchers used for general patient transport within healthcare facilities. They are typically adjustable in height and may have features like side rails and wheels for mobility.
  2. Emergency Stretchers: Also known as ambulance stretchers, these are designed for rapid deployment and stability during emergency situations. They often feature locking mechanisms, sturdy frames, and compatibility with ambulance equipment.
  3. Specialized Stretchers: These include models designed for specific medical purposes such as bariatric stretchers for heavier patients, pediatric stretchers for children, and MRI-compatible stretchers for safe imaging procedures.
  4. Surgical Stretchers: These stretchers are specifically designed for surgical environments, often featuring radiolucent materials for imaging compatibility and ergonomic designs for patient positioning during procedures.
  5. Electrically Powered Stretchers: These advanced stretchers include electric motors for effortless height adjustment and positioning, reducing strain on healthcare staff during patient transfers.

Medical Stretcher Buying Guide

When purchasing a medical stretcher, several key factors should be considered to ensure it meets the specific needs of healthcare facilities and enhances patient care:

  1. Weight Capacity: Determine the maximum weight the stretcher can safely support, considering the range of patients typically treated.
  2. Durability and Construction: Evaluate the materials used in the stretcher's frame and mattress for durability, ease of cleaning, and infection control compliance.
  3. Mobility and Maneuverability: Consider the type of wheels (e.g., locking, swivel) for smooth transport within different environments such as corridors, elevators, and ambulances.
  4. Ergonomics: Look for features like adjustable height, backrest angles, and ergonomic handles to ensure comfort for both patients and caregivers during transfers.
  5. Safety Features: Check for side rails, locking mechanisms, and restraint systems to ensure patient safety during transport and procedures.
  6. Compatibility: Determine if the stretcher is compatible with other medical equipment such as imaging devices (MRI-compatible), IV poles, and patient monitors.
  7. Ease of Maintenance: Assess ease of cleaning, maintenance requirements, and availability of spare parts to ensure longevity and cost-effectiveness.
  8. Regulatory Compliance: Ensure the stretcher meets regulatory standards and certifications relevant to your region (e.g., FDA approval, CE marking).
  9. Budget and Value: Consider upfront costs, ongoing maintenance expenses, and the overall value the stretcher provides in terms of patient care and operational efficiency.
