In the healthcare sector, musculoskeletal injuries represent a significant challenge for emergency medical services (EMS) personnel. According to recent studies, such as the one by Tehran University of Medical Sciences, 50% of EMS professionals report low back pain, mainly related to handling patients and heavy equipment. In this context, KARTSANA‘s electric couches, such as the innovative SUPERBRAVA and SILVER+, are making a difference.
Impact of Electric Stretchers on Staff Health
Mechanical stretchers require considerable physical strain, especially when lifting and carrying patients. Recent research shows that electric stretchers reduce patient handling related injuries by up to 50% (American J Industrial Medecine), (Coventry University UK).
This benefit comes from assisted lifting mechanisms that minimise the need for repetitive movements and excessive loads, the main causes of low back pain.
In addition, electric stretchers not only improve staff safety, but also operational efficiency. With faster loading and unloading times, the team can focus on providing patient care rather than dealing with ergonomic risks.
SUPERBRAVA and SILVER+: Innovation and Ergonomics
KARTSANA’s new electric stretchers, SUPERBRAVA and SILVER+, are designed to meet the highest standards of ergonomics and safety:
– SUPERBRAVA offers an unassisted load capacity of 320 kg, being unique in the market, intuitive controls and easier and safer handling for ease of use in critical situations.
– SILVER+, on the other hand, with a load capacity of 250 kg and advanced stability, combines lightness and robustness, ideal for teams looking for efficiency and comfort in daily operations.
Both models are equipped with advanced batteries and automated charging systems, ensuring constant functionality and reducing physical strain on operators.
Safety and Productivity
The implementation of electric stretchers such as the SILVER+ and SUPERBRAVA is a crucial step towards reducing injuries to emergency personnel. These innovations not only promote a safer working environment, but also improve the quality of service provided to patients. At KARTSANA, we remain committed to developing solutions that balance advanced technology and ergonomics to benefit both healthcare professionals and patients.
