Elastic Stretcher Cover
Although hospitals and health institutions come to mind first when it comes to stretcher covers, in fact, the usage area of stretchers and stretcher covers is very wide.
Stretcher covers are used in many areas such as hotels, beauty centers, waxing salons, spa and massage salons, health institutions such as medical centers and hospitals, medical offices and ambulances.
Although there are rubberized and non-tired stretcher covers, rubberized stretcher covers are much more preferred due to their ease of use and functionality. Where stretcher covers are used, the general purpose is to keep the lying place clean and hygienic. Models without tires may have problems such as slipping, crumpling and falling to the ground. For this reason, rubberized stretcher covers are more preferred. For this reason, we will give information about rubberized stretcher covers in our article.
A elastic stretcher cover is actually a kind of fitted sheet. Only the usage area and dimensions are different. We mentioned that it is divided into two as rubberized and non-tired. Rubberized stretcher covers are actually divided into two within themselves.
Stretcher covers made of cotton woven fabric are multi-use. It is suitable for use by washing many times.
Some institutions use these types of stretcher covers, but they are covered with disposable stretcher covers that are sold in rolls and this paper-like cover is thrown away at every customer, but as you can imagine, these covers are not very useful. You may not be able to keep your stretcher cover clean for a long time as it may slip.
These disposable stretcher covers are produced from nonwoven fabrics that we have mentioned in our previous articles. It is no different from a fitted sheet in type, but thanks to its fabric, it is thrown away and a new one is used only once. In other words, a separate stretcher cover is used for each customer or patient.
When we say disposable, do not think of a thin, flimsy product. Of course, it cannot be compared with cotton fabric, this is not its purpose. However, nonwoven (non-woven) fabrics are very durable during use and can be recycled after disposal. These fabrics have recently been used in the production of masks and bonnets.
As you can imagine, disposable rubberized stretcher covers are more suitable in terms of hygiene and cleanliness, ease of use and cost. Especially in these days when we are fighting a pandemic such as coronavirus, disposable products will be more hygienic. In elastic stretcher covers made of cotton fabric, especially if it is a multi-bed institution, you may encounter more costly situations such as cleaning, hygiene, keeping a spare, etc.
Basically, both are produced in standard sizes and are produced to fit almost every stretcher. Especially for disposable, disposable models, wholesale purchases of 100, 1000 will be much more economical.
