Stretcher Chairs can be converted from stretcher to chair (i.e., wheeled chairs) and back to a stretcher without transferring the patient. Typically, these devices can adjust to several different positions between a stretcher (horizontal platform) and a chair with a fully vertical back section. Most models also permit vertical height adjustment when used as stretchers. Stretcher chairs are used to decrease the need for patient transfers between examination, treatment, surgery, and discharge. These stretchers are ideal for smaller spaces.
