HEALTH EQUIPMENT

Unlike traditional evacuation equipment that requires storage space and staff retrieval during an emergency, the Evacuation Toboggan is discreetly integrated into the patient bed. Positioned beneath the center of the mattress, it remains unobtrusive during everyday use and is unaffected by routine bed-making procedures, ensuring it is always ready when required.

Designed to work seamlessly with existing healthcare beds, the Evacuation Toboggan does not interfere with cot sides, bed adjustments, or tilt mechanisms. This unique design promotes long-term acceptance by healthcare staff while providing a practical and reliable evacuation solution that remains permanently available at the point of care.

When an emergency evacuation becomes necessary, the Evacuation Toboggan rapidly converts the patient’s mattress into a protective evacuation cocoon and sled system. By eliminating the need to transfer patients from their bed to separate evacuation equipment, the system significantly reduces patient handling, minimizes discomfort, and lowers the risk of injury during evacuation procedures.

Patients remain securely positioned within the familiar surroundings of their own mattress, helping to reduce anxiety and distress during already challenging circumstances. This patient-centered approach enhances comfort, dignity, and reassurance while allowing caregivers to perform evacuations more efficiently and safely.

Engineered for healthcare environments where preparedness is critical, the Evacuation Toboggan provides peace of mind that patients can be evacuated quickly and safely during fires, power failures, building emergencies, and disaster response situations.
