Olympic -Ultra-Lite Gurney
Lightweight, easy-to-roll gurney: Speeds up patient handling and can be used for exams and treatments. Operators are always surprised at how easy it is to roll and steer an Ultra-Lite Gurney. It is a great labor saver, because just one person can safely roll a heavy dog down narrow hallways, turn tight corners, and move between crowded exam rooms, x-ray, surgery and recovery areas. Steering handles at both ends add to the maneuverability.
Removable Stretchers that Save Backs
The top of the Ultra-Lite Gurney is a removable stretcher that makes it easy to lift and lower heavier dogs – and reduces back injuries. Holes on the ends of the stretcher fit over posts on the cart. The stretcher is held securely – yet lifts off quickly. Both stretchers are radiolucent so patients can be brought straight to x-ray with minimal disruption.
Now… Lift the Stretcher, not the Patient.
With an Olympic Ultra-Lite Gurney, you take the stretcher to where the patient is – whether it’s in the back of a vehicle or on the floor – and you slide the patient onto the stretcher. This means no more awkward lifting of active patients, a major source of back injuries.
Converts Instantly from Transport to Exam Use
The Ultra-Lite Gurney includes both a Soft Stretcher and a Hard Stretcher. Both are radiolucent and can go straight to x-ray for gross examination. The soft stretcher will comfortably cocoon an injured patient. The hard stretcher serves both as a spine board and as an extra exam or treatment table. Both include 2 Velcro® straps.
Stores and Carries Supplies
There is also a large shelf for supplies. This gives you extra storage room for supplies without using up floor space. The storage shelf is also useful when you need to transport supplies along with a patient. There is a raised lip around the shelf to prevent supplies from falling off.
