Why do you need an evacuation device for bariatric patients?
What’s the philosophy behind the device?
In case of an emergency evacuation, it should be your number one priority to get bedridden patients out of the building. Especially when patients have a bariatric size, they cannot do this alone. Care workers and staff will need to help. Without an evacuation device, this is almost impossible.
The Bariatric S-CAPEPOD is permanently placed underneath the mattress. The patient neither sees it, nor feels it. Due to its intuitive design, the patient will be ready for evacuation in about 60 seconds.
The cloth protects people against the danger of bacteria.
Produced with fire retardant yarns to ensure fire retardancy.

Obesity evacuation sheet Bariatric S-CAPEPOD
This evacuation sheet can be used to evacuate larger-sized obese individuals directly from the bed mattress. Safety tested with patients up to 300 kg. (661 pounds)
Equipped with an abdominal belt for pannus stabilization
There is an extra abdominal belt on this bariatric version, compared to the standard model of the S-CAPEPOD. Due to the patient’s larger size, you want to ensure that the patient is fixed to the bed mattress as tight as possible. This prevents the patient from sliding down the mattress during a horizontal evacuation.
Anti-bacterial and fire-retardant materials
The S-CAPEPOD is treated with sanitized Th27-24. This Swiss technology is an anti-bacterial treatment which provides excellent protection to well-known hospital bacteria.
But that’s not all. The fabric is also fire-retardant. And this is not just a coating that will vanish after washing. In fact, the protective mechanism is inherent in the fiber.
