“Stretcher pads are among the most used pieces of medical equipment in Emergency and Perioperative Departments and subject to rapid wear and tear,” said Tim McCarty, General Manager of Beds and Therapeutic Support Surfaces at Agiliti. “We designed the NP Line of stretcher support surfaces with features to help improve patient comfort, reduce the risk of contamination and offer customers a highly durable surface option in their highest-volume environments.”

Compatible with the majority of acute care stretchers, the three non-powered support surfaces from Agiliti feature a breathable, four-way stretch top cover fabric and RF-welded seams for enhanced durability and less risk of microbial infiltration.

The NP Line includes the following products:

• NP Adjust ST™ which features self-adjusting foam filled air cells that respond to patient weight and movement. This helps promote immersion, pressure redistribution and comfort.
• NP Trio ST™ which features three layers of foam and a sloped heel zone to support varying pressure redistribution needs.
• NP Duo ST™ which features two layers of foam to provide consistent support from head to heel. The top layer of Visco foam is softer while the firmer bottom layer adds stability and prevents bottoming out.

The NP Adjust ST and NP Trio ST also feature an exclusive CoreShield™ layer to protect internal components from contamination and a layer of CuPro™ copper- and gel-infused foam to help enhance microclimate by dissipating heat and moisture.

Research published by Agiliti shows that compromised surfaces pose nearly six times more risk for cross-contamination to patients. The NP Line is the latest addition to the company’s portfolio of support surface technologies designed for more advanced care across multiple clinical settings. Agiliti also provides a range of clinical services and tools to help providers increase the lifespan of the surfaces they already have, including mattress inspection and audit services that help ensure support surfaces remain in top, patient-ready condition.
