Surface treatment and safety improvement of aluminum folding stretcher

Selection of smooth and wear-resistant materials
The surface treatment of an aluminum folding stretcher is a key part of improving its overall performance. The surface of traditional stretchers is often made of rougher materials. Although it increases friction to a certain extent, such a design is not conducive to cleaning and disinfection. Especially in medical environments, it is crucial to reduce the risk of cross-infection. Therefore, modern aluminum folding stretchers generally use a special material that is smooth and wear-resistant.

These materials usually have the following salient characteristics:

High wear resistance: The surface treated with special technology can effectively resist wear and tear in daily use, extend the service life of the stretcher, and reduce safety hazards caused by wear and tear.
Easy to clean and disinfect: The smooth surface design makes it difficult for stains and bacteria to adhere and can be easily removed using regular detergents and disinfectants, complying with the strict hygiene requirements of medical environments.
Anti-slip performance: Although the surface is smooth, these materials are treated with fine textures to ensure easy cleaning while retaining appropriate friction to avoid unnecessary sliding of patients on the stretcher.
Innovative application of anti-slip design
In order to further enhance the safety of aluminum folding stretchers, especially to prevent patients from sliding due to bumps or sudden braking during transportation, many stretcher manufacturers have made more sophisticated anti-slip designs on the contact surfaces.

Anti-skid texture: The lying area of ​​the stretcher is designed with fine anti-skid texture. These lines do not affect the overall appearance, but also significantly increase friction, ensuring that patients can remain stable even during emergency braking or turning.
Anti-slip pads: Some high-end stretchers are also equipped with removable anti-slip pads, usually made of highly elastic silicone or special rubber. These anti-slip pads not only have excellent anti-slip properties, but can also be flexibly adjusted according to the patient's body shape and lying position, providing personalized support and protection.
Edge protection: In addition to the anti-slip treatment on the surface, the edges of the stretcher are also rounded and anti-collision pads are added, which not only reduces the noise during transportation, but also prevents the risk of injuries to patients due to collision with the edges.
A balance between safety and comfort
While pursuing the surface materials of aluminum folding stretchers that are wear-resistant and easy to clean, manufacturers also attach great importance to patient comfort. Therefore, during the design process, the hardness, elasticity and breathability of the material will be comprehensively considered, and we strive to provide patients with a transportation environment as comfortable as possible while ensuring safety. For example, anti-slip mats made of memory foam can not only effectively prevent slipping, but also provide consistent support according to the patient's body curve, reducing discomfort during long-distance transport.
