Badger Skin - Reusable EMS Stretcher 55" Patient Slider with Harness System

Meet the Badger Skin, a reusable patient slider designed by a proudly Canadian company for offloading patients from EMS stretchers to hospital beds. Badger Skin increases the safety of EMTs, Paramedics and Transfer teams by reducing the lifting weight during a sheet transfer. Badger Skin sits underneath any sheet set, significantly improving the use of sliders in EMS care.  This innovative product allows EMS workers to make safer patient transfers and patients to enjoy more comfortable slide transfers. 

Partnering with Badger Skin enables a superior reusable alternative, enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and improving patient comfort.

Why BadgerSkin?

It stands out as a revolutionary solution in patient transfer when comparing BadgerSkin to traditional sliders, reusable sliders, and patient transfer boards. BadgerSkin combines the best of both worlds — offering the flexibility, efficiency, and comfort needed to streamline EMS workflows, while integrating seamlessly with existing stretchers.

 Feature BadgerSkin Direct Competitor Traditional Sliders Patient Transfer Boards
Efficiency Intuitive transfer with minimal team involvement, patented sliding system. Clip anchors add extra setup time; more pinch points; requires more precise handling. Less durable and requires more time and effort to set up and use. Bulky and requires more steps for patient transfer.
Sustainability Reusable, reducing waste and replacement costs. Sheet lasts ~15 washes before requiring replacement. Single-use, increasing medical waste. Can be reused but bulky and prone to wear.
Ease of Use Integrates seamlessly with Stryker stretchers for easy use. Clip system adds complexity; hand-wash anchors and harness; no full machine-wash compatibility. Can be difficult to position, especially with various stretchers. Difficult to handle, especially in tight spaces.
Innovation Designed by paramedics to meet real-world needs. More traditional build; does not address real-world EMS needs such as washing efficiency. Lacks paramedic-driven features for improved safety. Standard design, offering limited innovation.
Warranty 1-year full-use warranty; CE Certified; Class 1 Medical Device production. ~6-month expected sheet lifecycle; anchors not covered under standard warranty. Not typically warrantied. Not applicable or varies by brand.
Washability

Fully machine washable sheet and harness. Wipe clean for quick re-use. (Washing instructions below).

 Sheet is machine washable; anchors hand-wash only; heat sensitive (only medium heat). Not washable; single-use only. May be cleaned, but hard to sanitize thoroughly.
Harness System Simplified vertical harness with 6 Velcros designed with no clips, faster workflow, and no pinch points. 8-clip anchors increase complexity; more parts to clean, align, and maintain. Not applicable. Not applicable.
