Gendron Ambulance Stretchers and EMT Stretchers are two of the most popular picks for transporting bariatric patients to and from the hospital or between long term health care facilities. They are capable of carrying upwards of a thousand pounds, have a choice of mattresses and most have fully electronic controls for patient safety and comfort. In regards to bariatric recovery, Gendron is one of the leaders in the field and a name that is recognized world wide.
In addition to stretchers, Gendron also manufactures and distributes wheelchairs, seats, lifts, air mattresses and walkers. Their products are well made, come with extensive warranties and increase the quality of life for those who are in acute care facilities, rehabilitation hospitals or on a post surgical ward. Providing a patient with products that allow them to walk the path of rehabilitation is what Gendron strives for but making patients feel safe in the process is something that can only come from high quality products.
When I was incapacitated and in a rehabilitation hospital I dreaded having to move from one bed to another when I first arrived. I was put on a Gendron air mattress to prevent bedsores and to make moving easier. In a matter of seconds it was inflated and allowed me to move from one bed to another as well as into a secured air mattress that had alternating pressure. They had the same type of air mattress for patients that had been transferred there after bariatric surgery.
It`s rare to find a company that combines quality products, stellar customer service and extended warranties. Gendron provides great support for patients and hospital staff; their customer service team can answer any questions you have. If I were ever a patient again and had the choice of who would provide service and product, Gendron would be my first pick.
