A stretcher mattress is a lightweight, flat cushion designed to fit atop a stretcher, providing patient support and comfort during transport or care. Unlike bed mattresses, these are thinner and built to secure easily to the stretcher’s frame, ensuring stability while minimizing bulk.
These devices are typically classified as general-purpose medical equipment and may be regulated based on their materials, durability, and intended use. They are commonly supplied as single-use or reusable, depending on clinical protocols and infection control standards, though none offer therapeutic benefits beyond basic support.
