This pressure is provided by a filter engine attached to the foot end of the unit. The stretcher has a flat bean bag base which provides rigid support for easy carrying while immobilising the patient, if required, in cases of a broken neck or dislodged vertebra. The Safetypod also has a flexible central pod to allow easier breathing when a patient needs to be placed in a more upright position, creating a rigid head board with a flexible lower back support if needed to allow the patient to be accessed easier when needing to breathe.
The Safetypod also has 2 external access ports located on either side for a carer to assist a patient without having to be exposed to substances inside the containment unit.
