INTRODUCTION
Adding Fowler back positioning to the MRI Stretcher comfortably accommo-
dates patients for prolonged periods. Ideal for patient transport to and within
the MRI suite, the MRI Fowler Back Stretcher is non-magnetic, has an all alu-
minum frame, and is designed for heavy-duty use. The Fowler back is infinite-
ly adjustable and the stretcher comes complete with mattress, restraining
straps and folding side rails. Five-inch ball bearing swivel casters provide
easy, controlled mobility and lock firmly to secure the stretcher in position
as needed.
NOTE: Uncrate the MRI Fowler Back Stretcher and inspect for damage. If the
stretcher is not damaged, dispose of packing.
