Proactive Medical Protekt Ultra Comfort Stretcher Pad with 3-Layer Pressure-Redistributing Foam and Visco Gel Memory Top

Protekt Ultra Comfort Stretcher Pad: 3-Layer Clinical-Grade Pressure Redistribution and Visco Gel Polymer Technology

The Proactive Medical Protekt® Ultra Comfort Stretcher Pad delivers an elite therapeutic surface specifically engineered to prevent friction injuries and maximize skin integrity during high-stakes emergency transit, clinical evaluation, and surgical pre-op/post-op phases. Optimized for hospital emergency departments, urgent triage vehicles, surgical suites, and labor and delivery units, this premium stretcher pad offers advanced weight redistribution. Built to easily replace low-grade, rigid original equipment manufacturer pads, the Ultra Comfort series transforms standard transport gurneys into high-performance, skin-protective patient care platforms.

Operational optimization and advanced thermal management are driven by innovative Visco Gel Polymer Technology (VGPT™). The top surface layer is composed of a breathable, open-cell visco-elastic memory foam infused with a specialized gel polymer. Unlike standard closed-cell foams that trap ambient body heat, this advanced interface allows continuous air circulation to actively channel heat away from the patient's skin, reducing localized sweat and maceration risks. The contouring gel-infused foam easily maps to individual patient anatomy, increasing the total surface immersion area to reduce static fatigue and completely prevent bottoming out against the hard metal or composite gurney deck.

Every tactile boundary is engineered to support seamless facility workflows, rigorous clinical cleaning, and maximum patient safety. The structural core incorporates three distinct layers of high-density, high-resilience, medical-grade urethane foam, maximizing stability and anatomical alignment during rapid cornering or emergency transit. Enclosed in a low-friction, multi-stretch cover, the pad drastically lowers skin-shearing forces during lateral slide-board patient transfers. Completed with a non-skid bottom base, integrated Velcro anchor strips, a Fluid Protection Zipper Guard (FPZG™) to block cross-contamination, and a fire-rated CA 117 certification, this stretcher pad ensures long-term asset tracking reliability.

Key Benefits:

• 3-Layer Specialized Foam Core: Utilizes three distinct densities of high-resilience medical urethane foam to deliver superior, layered pressure distribution and anatomical support.
• Visco Gel Polymer Technology: Incorporates a cooling, gel-infused memory foam top layer that prevents patient bottoming out and actively dissipates body heat.
• Low-Friction Patient Transfers: Outfitted with an ultra-smooth stretch cover that minimizes shear stress and skin friction during lateral patient slide transfers.
• Fluid Protection Zipper Guard: Features the advanced FPZG™ flap assembly over the enclosure zipper line to completely seal out bodily fluids and chemical spill contamination.
• Non-Skid Velcro Anchor System: Designed with a high-traction bottom lining coupled with heavy-duty Velcro strips to keep the pad firmly anchored to the stretcher frame.
• Comprehensive Sizing & Customization: Available in variable thicknesses and fully adaptable lengths/widths to comfortably fit any clinical brand of gurney or transport cot.
