S-CAPEPOD

 

Tetcon’s most recent innovation, the Bariatric S-CAPEPOD is designed to assist healthcare professionals to evacuate bariatric people from locations such as a hospital ward or other public/private buildings in the event of an emergency and has been safety tested to 500kg (78 Stone).

 

The Bariatric S-CAPEPOD is permanently mounted between the frame of the bed and the mattress. By means of several flaps, which you can pull around the bariatric mattress, encompassing the patient in the evacuation device while still on the mattress. In about sixty seconds, the patient is ready for evacuation. With the Bariatric S-CAPEPOD, you have a simple evacuation tool at your disposal that can make the difference in a state of emergency.

 

The Bariatric S-CAPEPOD is the only evacuation sheet for larger individuals that permanently sits under the bed mattress. This means that the evacuation device is always accessible for rescuers.
The 500kg Bariatric S-CAPEPOD is developed by Tetcon based in The Netherlands and available through Benmor Medical in the UK.
