Safe Medical
Transportation

The patient is isolated inside the unit preventing cross-contamination to the health care workers. In addition, there is no need to wear full PPE while transporting. This enhances situational awareness and prevents PPE caused fatigue. It also saves time designated for donning and doffing, while leaving more for treating other patients.
