MJM Shower Stretcher Gurney, PVC Foam, 3-Position Headrest, 79 x 30 Inch, 450 lb

The MJM Shower Stretcher Gurney is a heavy-duty shower gurney designed for clinical and home care environments where safe non-ambulatory patient bathing is required. The closed-cell waterproof PVC foam pad with a full-length drain pan catches falling water and resists bacteria growth, keeping both patient and caregiver protected throughout every bathing session. The three-position elevating headrest allows flexible patient positioning, while drop-side safety railings secured with lock pins — not friction — enable barrier-free transfers without compromising safety. Six heavy-duty treaded casters, including a middle set for sag prevention and easy maneuverability, complete a stretcher built for daily clinical use.

Ideal For

Hospitals, nursing homes, and long-term care facilities that need a clinical-grade shower gurney for bathing non-ambulatory patients will find the MJM Shower Stretcher a bacteria-resistant, heavy-duty option with a full-length drain pan and lock-pin railings for daily high-use environments. Caregivers and home health aides who assist individuals with limited or no mobility during showering will benefit from the drop-side railings that allow barrier-free transfers and the 3-position headrest that supports flexible patient positioning throughout the bathing process. Facilities that require a durable, easy-to-disinfect shower stretcher that meets infection control standards will find the closed-cell PVC foam pad and vinyl cover wipe down easily with standard clinical disinfectants between uses. Home care environments where a safe, clinically appropriate bathing solution is required for a non-ambulatory individual will find the 450 lb capacity, six-caster maneuverability, and compact 79 x 30 inch footprint practical for residential shower configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between lock-pin railings and friction railings?
Lock-pin railings use a positive locking mechanism — a pin that physically secures the railing in the raised position — rather than relying on friction or tension to hold the rail up. This is an important safety distinction in clinical settings: friction-based railings can slip or release under lateral pressure, while lock-pin railings remain securely in place until the pin is deliberately released by the caregiver. This reduces the risk of accidental railing collapse during patient bathing or transfer.

Why does the stretcher have a middle set of casters?
The middle caster set serves two purposes: it prevents the stretcher pad from sagging in the center under the patient's weight, and it improves maneuverability when navigating tight spaces such as doorways, shower rooms, and hallways. Without a middle support, long stretchers can flex under load, making them harder to steer and potentially uncomfortable for the patient. The six-caster configuration distributes weight more evenly and keeps the stretcher stable during transport.

How is the PVC foam pad cleaned and maintained?
The closed-cell PVC foam pad and durable vinyl cover are designed for wet-environment use and can be wiped down with standard clinical disinfectants between patient uses. Closed-cell foam does not absorb water or bacteria the way open-cell foam does, which makes it significantly easier to maintain infection control standards in clinical settings. Always follow your facility's infection control protocols when cleaning shared patient equipment.
