Procedural Stretcher with IntelliDrive® Powered Transport

The first time you handle our new Procedural Stretcher with IntelliDrive® Powered Transport, you’ll feel the difference in power and handling.

That difference starts with easier engagement, smoother operation and four-sided brake and steer. But that’s only the beginning.

In time, you’ll see how the right powered stretcher can truly make a difference. Patients experience a smoother ride. Administrators realize higher efficiency and a smart investment. And the biggest outcome: caregivers experience less stress and strain which may reduce the risk of injury.

Feel the difference in power and handling
We've designed a reliable powered stretcher that makes a big difference for caregivers—at every start, turn and stop.


IN STARTING A powered wheel deployment lets you easily step on the pedal and go.	IN TURNING Our center wheel design corners easily and a convenient four-sided brake and steer helps you maneuver in tight areas.	IN STOPPING Powered transport controls let you stop immediately, safely and securely.

The biggest outcome: less stress and strain
In a head-to-head comparison, Procedural Stretcher with IntelliDrive® Powered Transport requires on average 8% less peak force than the Stryker Zoom® system.(1) These results reflect a reduction in peak spinal compression forces across all load conditions, including starting, turning and stopping.(2)
