Comfort glide hospital gurney

Abstract

The Comfort Glide Hospital Gurney will provide shock absorption relief through the use of spring, gas, or air shock absorbers mounted within each of the structural support legs of the gurney. This preferred structure will allow for a less traumatizing experience for the hospital patient who is already in physical pain. In use, the patient will lay atop of the Comfort Glide Hospital Gurney during transportation to and from surgery, X-Ray or a variety of other transportation needs. The patient will feel less pain throughout their journey when being rolled over carpeted areas to tile floor areas, anywhere there may be a gap in the flooring, and especially when being moved in and out of an elevator. The Comfort Glide Hospital Gurney shall accomplish a less painful ride throughout the patient's hospital experience along with convenience and safety.
