Does adding technology and accessories affect the cost?
Specialist features and technology such as weigh scales, powered drive systems, and sliding mattress platforms will all affect the overall cost of am imaging stretcher.
Powered drive systems, for example, will typically add at least a £3,000-£5,000 additional cost to a stretcher, depending on the system fitted. Powered drive systems can range from a basic one-directional drive, controlled via a joystick or touchpad, up to higher-end multi-directional systems that are pressure-sensitive and built into the stretcher’s handle.
Other minor accessories such as accessory rails, IV poles, and oxygen bottle holders will also add to the overall cost.
What else affects the cost?
As with most capital equipment purchases, freight costs can have a big impact on the final cost you pay for an imaging stretcher.
Overseas freight for large and heavy items such as stretchers can often cost hundreds or even thousands of pounds, and subsequently, many NHS buyers prefer to source equipment from UK-based suppliers and manufacturers, to cut down on freight costs and delivery times.
