Bridging the Gap in Pediatric and Adolescent Care The Hausted Horizon 462 Youth Stretcher is expertly engineered for patients who have outgrown standard pediatric cribs but still require the comprehensive safety and security of 360-degree protection. Ideal for emergency departments, pediatric wards, and transport, this specialized stretcher ensures smaller patients receive the highest standard of care during examination, transport, and recovery.

360-Degree Patient Protection Patient safety is paramount when transporting adolescents and youths. The 462EMPST features specialized, high-profile vertical side rails that operate in three distinct positions, ensuring caregivers can provide secure, full-perimeter protection while still allowing for safe, unobstructed patient access and lateral transfers.

Ergonomic Care and Superior Mobility Caregiver strain is drastically reduced with intuitive, dual-sided hydraulic foot pedals that control the stretcher's height (from 28.5" to 37") and provide up to 12 degrees of Trendelenburg positioning. A pneumatic-assisted backrest effortlessly glides from 0 to 90 degrees for optimal patient positioning. For transport, the stretcher is equipped with premium 8-inch Tente® casters and a Center Track Steering system, allowing a single caregiver to maneuver the stretcher smoothly down crowded hospital corridors.
