Adjustable, fixed height, radiographic and bariatric are some of the commonly available hospital stretchers. Depending on the mechanism, they are also accessible in motorized and non-motorized variants.

They are widely used as surgical platforms, hospital beds and for examination and inspection of the patient as they assist in saving time by safely carrying and moving patients. As a result, hospital stretchers are widely used in acute hospital care situations such as emergency, pediatric care, radiology and rescue services during accidents.

Hospital Stretchers Market Trends:

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, such as cancer, neurological disorders and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), especially amongst the rising geriatric population, is creating a positive outlook for the market growth. In line with this, the rapid spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) across the globe has further led to the extensive utilization of hospital stretchers that can be supplemented with additional attachments, such as ventilators and support extensions, which is favoring the market growth. Moreover, various product innovations, such as the introduction of stretchers with multiple accessories, such as lifting bridles, head/spine immobilizer, toe clamp, shoulder harness, footboard and wrist rest, are providing an impetus to the market growth. Additionally, the widespread adoption of bariatric stretchers that have oversized wheels, wider frames and winch attachments and pull and push handles for the safe transportation of obese patients is positively impacting the market growth. Apart from this, the increasing incidence of road accidents that require instant medical attention and significant growth in the healthcare infrastructure are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
