A stretcher for washing bedridden patients

摘要

A stretcher for washing bedridden patients, that may be positioned on an even height with the bed, so that a patient may be transferred from and back to the bed. The stretcher comprises a rolling mounting rack (1) presenting an upper frame (3) for fastening a backboard (2) for holding a patient in flat position, the backboard being provided with holes or perforations for draining of the cleansing liquid. Between the frame and the backboard the lower marginal portion of a laminar member (13) is fastened. Its upper edge is engaged in the grooves of bars extending from the backboard. The laminar members form -in a first position- a wall surrounding the backboard for delimiting an area or sink where a patient is washed and -in a second position- a folding underneath the backboard which allows for the patient to be transferred.
