With unprecedented levels of patients requiring specialist treatment during ambulance transfer, paramedics required the ability to quickly and easily convert a standard stretcher into a critical care trolley. This would enable them to provide lifesaving care during transfer and in instances where admission into hospital was not immediately possible, administer prolonged patient care. Working in partnership with Stryker ® , medical clinicians and ambulance trusts, Paraid designed and manufactured the Adapter+. The Adapter+ converts STRYKER ® Power-PRO TL and Power-PRO XT stretchers into medium dependency critical-care stretchers, enabling safe transportation and secure storage of vital lifesaving equipment which accommodates a wide spectrum of patient care needs. Crash tested to British and European standard BS EN 1789, the Adapter+ is easy to install and can accommodate various equipment configurations to suit both the patient and transport team requirements. The Adapter+ can house a wide range of medical equipment, including; patient monitors, ventilators, infusion pumps and syringe drivers. Designed to secure medical apparatus up to 15kg, additional accessories are also available to secure vital equipment to the stretchers. With 40 years’ experience, Paraid is a proud UK manufacturer and recognised market leader providing bespoke medical transportation equipment. Specialising in the design and manufacture of innovative patient transfer solutions to help save lives in emergency situations, Paraid work with hospitals, ambulance services and care homes to provide solutions to protect patients and clinicians, during critical stages of patient care. Paraid’s unique capabilities is supported by an in-house team of highly-skilled designers, field technicians and production teams, championed by world-class manufacturing technologies. 62 For further recruitment vacancies visit: www.ambulanceukonline.com
