Eye Stretcher Salient Characteristics

Eye stretchers are used for most optical procedures in operating rooms. They are used to transport patients from a pre-op area, provide a surgical surface during the procedure, and then used to transport the patient to post-op. Eye stretchers usually consist of a surface for the patient to lay on, and a head piece to properly position the patients head during optical surgery. Side rails are present for transportation to ensure the patient remains on the stretcher during transport. Multiple fittings for IV poles and oxygen containers are usually present. For emergency and sterility purposes, foot controls must be present at the head or foot and side of bed. These controls must control the height of the bed (raise and lower) as well as put the bed into Park, Neutral, or Drive. This bed will also maneuver into Trendelenburg hands free in the event life saving measures need to be performed.
