Bathing Stretcher — ToronCare™ 1190
Hydraulic Bathing Transfer Stretcher
ToronCare™ 1190 is a purpose-built hydraulic bathing transfer stretcher designed to facilitate safe, dignified patient bathing and hygiene care in hospital and long-term care settings. As a specialized hospital stretcher for bathing and hygiene applications, the ToronCare™ 1190 addresses one of the most physically demanding and infection-sensitive care tasks in inpatient environments — full-body patient bathing — by providing a stable, waterproof, height-adjustable platform with detachable side rails and a collapsible longside rail system.
Constructed on a steel framework with an environmentally friendly PVC cover with PE foam insert, the ToronCare™ 1190 provides a hygienic, cushioned, and fully waterproof patient surface that can be rapidly cleaned and disinfected between uses. The double hydraulic system, operated by foot pedals on both sides of the stretcher, enables effortless height adjustment from 815 to 585 mm and provides Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg tilt up to 13° — allowing caregivers to position the patient optimally for washing, rinsing, and drying without manual lifting or awkward postures.
The four detachable side rails provide patient fall protection during bathing and stretcher transport, while the collapsible longside rail reduces the caregiver's reach distance for improved ergonomics during bathing tasks. With an overall dimension of 2045 × 770 mm and a robust hydraulic drive, the ToronCare™ 1190 bathing stretcher is engineered for daily use in rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, and hospital hygiene rooms across the United States and Canada.

Theory and Method
The ToronCare™ 1190 operates on a double hydraulic system that provides both height adjustment and tilt adjustment from foot pedals accessible on both sides of the stretcher. This bilateral pedal design ensures that the caregiver can always reach the controls regardless of which side of the bathing stretcher they are working on, reducing repositioning steps during patient care.
The hydraulic height-adjustment mechanism raises or lowers the entire bed platform between 815 and 585 mm from the ground, enabling the caregiver to work at an ergonomic waist height throughout the bathing procedure and reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injury. The Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg tilt function (0° to 13°) allows head-up or head-down positioning to facilitate water drainage, patient comfort, or specific care requirements.
The four detachable side rails click securely into the side frame for stretcher transport and patient safety, and detach fully for unobstructed lateral access during bathing. The longside rail on the access side collapses down to a flat position, further reducing the caregiver's horizontal reach and improving body mechanics during extended bathing and hygiene procedures.
