FAQS on patient transport trolley
Q: What are the key features of a patient transport trolley?
A: A patient transport trolley typically includes adjustable height, padded surfaces for comfort, and secure straps for safety. It is designed for short-distance transfers in hospitals or clinics. Some models feature foldable designs for easy storage.
Q: How does a lightweight transport chair differ from a standard wheelchair?
A: A lightweight transport chair is lighter (often under 20 lbs) and lacks self-propelled wheels, requiring a caregiver to push. It prioritizes portability over long-term use, making it ideal for travel or temporary transfers. Standard wheelchairs are heavier and allow user independence via hand rims.
Q: What are the advantages of an electric transport wheelchair?
A: Electric transport wheelchairs offer motorized mobility, reducing physical strain for users or caregivers. They often include joystick controls, longer battery life, and terrain adaptability. These chairs suit individuals needing frequent or longer-distance transfers without manual effort.
Q: Are patient transport trolleys safe for MRI environments?
A: Only MRI-compatible trolleys with non-magnetic materials (e.g., aluminum) can be used near scanners. Standard trolleys may interfere with imaging or pose safety risks. Always verify equipment specifications for MRI suitability.
Q: How to choose between a transport trolley, lightweight chair, or electric wheelchair?
A: Consider patient mobility level, transfer frequency, and environment. Transport trolleys suit medical facilities for bed-to-room transfers, lightweight chairs excel in travel scenarios, while electric wheelchairs benefit users needing sustained independence over varied terrain.
