Frequently Asked Questions

How are the Badger Skin M1 and M2 models different?

The system comes in two distinct types tailored to your team's workflow:

  • Badger Skin M2: Features an integrated harness and seat belt system designed for comprehensive stretcher mounting and enhanced patient security.
  • Badger Skin M1: Designed without a harness, making it ideal for standard, simple slide transfers where extra integrated restraint straps are not required.

Which EMS stretcher brands are compatible with the Badger Skin system?

Both the M1 and M2 models are engineered by their Canadian manufacturer to be fully compatible with industry-standard Stryker and Ferno stretchers.

How does this system improve safety for EMS personnel?

Transferring a patient to a hospital bed normally requires a lot of force and hard work. By making the transfer smooth, this system protects medical teams from common lifting injuries.

Why should an agency choose Badger Skin over disposable transfer alternatives?

You can reuse Badger Skin products instead of throwing away disposable sheets or heavy transfer boards. They are made to last and are easy to wipe down, which helps emergency teams save money on waste and protect the environment.
