Stryker 1501 Stretcher: Versatility and Durability for All Medical Needs
The Stryker 1501 stretcher epitomizes excellence in versatility and durability within patient care. Designed to meet a variety of clinical requirements, these stretchers stand out for their adaptability to different contexts, whether for general use, patient transport, or emergency situations. Its innovative design and advanced features make the 1501 an indispensable tool in modern healthcare facilities.
At the core of the Stryker 1501’s design is a sophisticated twin pedestal hydraulic system that allows for smooth and precise adjustments between Hi-Low and Trendelenburg positions. This advanced system ensures a smooth transition for the patient and facilitates necessary maneuvers in critical situations. Controls are strategically placed on both sides or at each end of the stretcher, ensuring ease of use and ergonomic access for healthcare professionals regardless of their position around the stretcher.
The 1501 stretcher features 20 cm (8˝) Omni Surface™ casters designed to provide exceptional maneuverability and increased stability. The locking caster steering is a key feature that improves traction and cornering capabilities, ensuring a smooth and secure ride even in crowded or cluttered environments. For additional stability in demanding environments, BIG WHEEL® casters are available as an option, offering enhanced traction on various surfaces.
The Stryker 1501 stretcher is equipped with several features that enhance safety and convenience during use. Four IV receptacles allow for easy management of fluids during transport. An integrated storage tray with an oxygen bottle holder ensures that essential equipment is always within reach. Rubber bumpers protect both the stretcher and surrounding surfaces, reducing the risk of accidental damage.
Optional four-sided brake controls provide secure locking of the stretcher to prevent any unwanted movement. However, it is important to note that these controls are not compatible with the BIG WHEEL® option. The stretcher can also be fitted with either fold-down or Glideaway™ side rails, depending on the model, offering flexibility to facilitate patient access and security during transfers.
In addition to standard features, the Stryker 1501 offers a range of optional accessories to meet specific needs. These include a defibrillator tray, a removable push bar, and various types of mattresses, allowing facilities to customize the stretcher according to their particular requirements. The stretcher can also be equipped with patient restraints, an IV caddy, and IV poles for practical fluid management.
The stretcher is also compatible with a C-spine cassette film holder, essential for radiological exams, as well as retractable push handles and a serving/instrument tray to facilitate the work of medical teams. Side rail pads add an extra layer of safety and comfort for the patient.
The Stryker 1501 Advantage stretcher is designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern medical environments while ensuring patient safety, comfort, and effective transport. Its robustness, combined with exceptional flexibility and advanced features, makes it a top choice for healthcare facilities committed to providing the highest quality of care.
