 STRETCHER MATTRESSES

The Slicker Mattress® is a lined, dual density foam cushion that is thermosealed inside an opaque teal, micro matte, vinyl cover. The mattress has many features that are designed to enhance infection control efforts. The cushion is completely encapsulated by a polyvinyl liner and a heavy outer vinyl cover to prevent contamination of the foam core.
The construction of the mattress minimizes corners and seams that might trap contaminants. That allows more thorough cleanup of blood and other fluids, providing additional protection for patients and staff from blood and fluid borne disease. For stretchers without top mounted rails, E.R. models are equipped with patented clear sheet tuck flaps that provide additional table top protection, particularly for attachment velcro which is difficult to clean. The flaps do not affect the ability to tuck sheets under the mattress.
The tough, durable vinyl covering extends the mattress life, withstanding a lot of wear and tear. The Slicker Mattress, in both the 3½ inch and 4½ inch versions, is built using a lower density top foam over a more dense bottom layer to increase comfort for the patient, but still remain durable in use. (It comes with a 1 year warranty.) The mattress is very flexible and will not interfere with normal stretcher use. All models are shipped with new self adhesive velcro to replace or reposition worn attachment velcro on the stretcher top.

contaminants from penetrating under the mattress onto the stretcher top. The result is faster, more thorough cleanups, and a reduction in contaminant buildup in areas like the attachment velcro. ! The Slicker Mattress is designed for easy cleanup using standard cleaning solutions. Shorter cleanup time returns the stretcher to service faster. ! New table velcro is supplied with the mattress to insure secure mattress to stretcher adhesion. ! Custom vinyl is used in the Slicker Mattress. It is the same formulation that is used for the Radiology Slicker series to avoid interference with radiologic studies.

Radiology Slicker® Systems are clear, micro matte
vinyl protective cover systems that are designed to
enhance table sanitation and minimize table maintenance.
The covers encapsulate the table cushion. In conjunction
with the cover flap system, that simplifies cleanup, and
allows more thorough cleaning and disinfection. Better
cleaning results in a reduction of contaminant buildups in
hard to clean areas. Exposure to blood and fluid borne
disease is reduced for the patient, the technician, and for
cleaning and maintenance personnel.
The fluid control flaps, used on Slicker systems, keep
fluids and contaminants from penetrating into the electromechanical
components of the table. Table maintenance
downtime and costs are substantially reduced. The
Slicker’s flaps, and skirts (where used), help to protect
table rails and edges from wear and tear.
A Slicker Cushion® is a lined foam cushion that is
permanently welded inside a Slicker cover to further
prevent cushion penetration by fluids and contaminants.
All Slicker covers and cushions are easy to install and do
not affect normal table usage.
