• Bariatric stretchers can withstand weight up to 700 pounds. Moreover, the use of powered hi/low stretchers might be advantageous to enable patient transfer and positioning.
• The market for adjustable stretchers is also expected to grow significantly in the coming years owing to the increasing demand for innovative and automated hospital stretchers by multi-specialty and super-specialty hospitals. Adjustable stretchers are motorized and technologically advanced.
