Hill-Rom, a Hillenbrand Industry

The EpiCarePorter System includes the stand-alone CarePorter Cart, which interlocks with EpiCarePorter Ceiling Arms to make the transition between hospital-room and transport smooth and safe. The cart docks with most hospital beds and stretchers, and has attachment spaces for most equipment. Its ventilator shelf is compatible with models like the Puritan-Bennett 840 (shown in photo), Siemens 300A and Bird Tbird, and lowers to fit under the head of the bed during transport. Switching from wall gasses and electric power to cart-mounted sources is automatic. The EpiCarePorter System not only keeps the ventilator and other care devices organized and lets them remain attached and active during transport, but also cuts down the number of personnel required to move the patient, all lowering the risk of transport-related injury.
