U-Shape 953: Innovative Solution for Trauma and Emergency Services
The U-Shape 953 from NovyMed is a revolutionary radiology stretcher designed to meet the demands of modern trauma and emergency services. In a context where rapid diagnosis is crucial to saving lives, this stretcher stands out for its ability to improve workflow efficiency and reduce waiting times.
The U-Shape 953 is equipped with a sliding radiolucent table, a major innovation that allows full-body X-rays to be taken without having to transfer the patient to an X-ray table. This unique feature saves valuable time and minimises ergonomic risks for both caregivers and patients. The table can slide approximately 21.5 cm in both directions, providing full access with various types of X-ray equipment from renowned brands such as Philips, Oldelft, Siemens, and Ziehm.
Designed to support heavy loads, the U-Shape 953 has a dynamic load capacity of 315 kg and a static load capacity of 350 kg, making it suitable for bariatric patient care. This robustness, combined with an ergonomic design, ensures optimal patient safety while facilitating the work of healthcare professionals.
The U-Shape 953 is not only ideal for emergency services, but also for other hospital departments such as short-stay units. Its versatility is enhanced by a range of optional accessories that allow the stretcher to be customised to the specific needs of each department. These accessories include foldable handles, removable push bars, defibrillator trays, monitor holders and many more.
The U-Shape 953 is exceptionally manoeuvrable thanks to a retractable 5th wheel system that ensures optimum stability on all types of flooring. Hydraulic height adjustment and simple backrest adjustment (via gas springs) make it intuitive and comfortable to use. Fully retractable side rails provide 360-degree access around the patient, facilitating medical interventions.
The U-Shape 953 is designed to offer the perfect balance between safety, ergonomics and comfort. Optional mattresses, available with non-slip transfer handles or Velcro fasteners, ensure maximum patient stability. In addition, the centralised braking system and 125 mm diameter twin wheels guarantee safe and reliable immobilisation of the stretcher.
The U-Shape 953 was developed in close collaboration with experts from leading trauma centres. Feedback from previous models has led to continuous improvements, making the U-Shape 953 a state-of-the-art, reliable piece of medical equipment that is tailored to the needs of healthcare professionals.
The U-Shape 953 from NovyMed is much more than just an X-ray stretcher. It is a complete and innovative solution that meets the challenges of modern trauma and emergency services, combining speed, safety and comfort for patients and caregivers.
