Medical transfer stretchers are indispensable tools in healthcare settings, serving as a critical link in patient care—from emergency room rescues to intra-hospital mobility. Hebei Chibang Medical Equipment Co., Ltd.’s HI-BUDDY transfer stretcher, crafted with high-quality materials and advanced mechanisms, ensures safe, efficient, and humanized patient transportation when operated correctly.

Step-by-Step Guide to Proper Use

1. Central Control Brake Operation: To engage the brake, step down the foot pedal marked with a "red" circle; to release it, press the pedal with a "green" circle. This stable braking system guarantees the stretcher stays fixed during patient transfer or care.

2. Directional Control with Guide Wheels: For straight-line movement (ideal for narrow corridors or precise positioning), step down the "red" marked guide wheel pedal to lower the guide wheel. To enable free 360° movement, press the "green" marked pedal to retract the guide wheel.

3. Height Adjustment: Rotate the folding crank clockwise to raise the bed surface (adjustment range: 560-880mm) and counterclockwise to lower it. When not in use, pull out the crank sheath and fold down the handle to prevent accidental collisions.

4. Backrest & Guardrail Operation: Lift the handle under the head of the bed to raise the backrest (adjustable angle: 0~75°+5°); press the backrest gently and release when reaching the desired height to lower it. To raise the PP side rails, lift them until they lock automatically; to lower, pull up the guardrail switch slightly and fold them down.

5. Auxiliary Equipment Setup: Place oxygen cylinders in the dedicated holder and secure them with the lock switch. Extend the telescopic IV pole for infusion therapy, ensuring stability during transport. Always fasten the safety belt to prevent patient falls.

The Indispensable Role in Healthcare

Transfer stretchers are more than just mobility tools—they are vital to patient safety and care continuity. In emergency rooms, they enable rapid rescue and stable patient movement, minimizing the risk of secondary injuries. Their high-quality carbon steel frame, imported PE/PP panels, and noiseless 125mm casters ensure durability, corrosion resistance, and smooth operation across various hospital environments (-10°C~40°C).

Equipped with oxygen tank holders, IV poles, and adjustable height/backrest functions, the stretcher adapts to diverse clinical needs—from emergency resuscitation to ward-to-OR transfers. The international advanced central control brake and guide wheel system enhance operational stability, reducing the burden on medical staff and improving workflow efficiency. By facilitating safe, comfortable, and efficient patient transportation, transfer stretchers directly contribute to better treatment outcomes and a more humanized healthcare experience.

Proper operation of medical transfer stretchers not only maximizes their functional value but also safeguards patient safety—making them an irreplaceable asset in modern healthcare delivery.
