Gendron G1050 General Duty Transport Stretcher with 2-Inch Patient Pad

Reliable patient transport for clinics and healthcare facilities The Gendron G1050 General Duty Transport Stretcher is designed for patient movement within hospitals, urgent-care centers, outpatient clinics, treatment areas, and other healthcare facilities. Its carbon-steel construction, adjustable head section, protective side rails, cushioned patient surface, and heavy-duty casters provide a practical platform for routine patient transport and temporary clinical positioning. The stretcher supports patients weighing up to 350 lb when weight is evenly distributed. Adjustable patient positioning The G1050 features one-function articulation that allows clinical staff to raise or lower the head section. This adjustable backrest supports patient comfort during transport, examination, observation, and recovery. The positioning system is operated manually and should be adjusted only after confirming that the patient is safely positioned. Two-position fold-down side rails Two-position fold-down side rails help support patient security during transport while allowing easier access during transfers and treatment. The rails can be lowered when transferring a patient and raised before moving the stretcher. Facility transfer procedures and patient-fall precautions should always be followed. Heavy-duty mobility system The stretcher includes four heavy-duty 8-inch casters designed for movement across healthcare facility floors. Side-mounted lever brakes provide steer and brake functions, helping staff guide the stretcher through corridors and secure it during patient transfers, examinations, and treatment. The brakes should be engaged whenever the stretcher is stationary or a patient is being transferred. Cushioned patient surface A 2-inch high-density litter pad with low-shear fabric is included. The cushioned surface supports patient comfort during transport and short-term positioning. The pad and stretcher surfaces should be cleaned and disinfected according to facility infection-control procedures. IV-pole compatibility Four IV sockets are positioned around the stretcher, with one socket located at each corner. The frame also includes under-surface storage for the optional Gendron telescoping IV pole, item number 10122. The IV pole is not included with the standard G1050 stretcher and must be ordered separately when required. Durable clinical construction The G1050 uses carbon-steel frame and sheet-metal construction designed for routine use in hospitals and clinics. The stretcher is manufactured in the United States and is intended to provide a durable patient-transport solution for healthcare environments.
