CASCO Provides a Custom Solution for Stretcher Pad Needs

As a custom manufacturer, Casco has the flexibility to design innovative products that meet unique customer needs in the healthcare environment ranging from worker safety to patient experience. One such custom request came from a supervisor for the emergency department of a longtime Casco hospital customer.

The need: to reduce potential risk of injury among the emergency department transport staff while moving patients off standard stretcher mattresses.

Transferring patients off a stretcher mattress with the usual polyurethane surface may involve lifting that can result in muscle and joint strain. and potentially avoidable workplace injuries among the transport and nursing staff. This customer enlisted Casco for a solution that would facilitate patient transfers from the stretcher mattresses to other medical treatment surfaces.

Casco developed a custom solution by designing a stretcher mattress comprised of a conductive fabric that requires significantly less lifting on the part of the emergency department transport team when they transfer patients.

It was a perfect answer to the customer’s problem. Custom solutions are part of the daily routine at Casco.
