Description
The Graham Medical SnugFit® Stretcher Sheet (54311) is a high-quality disposable fitted sheet engineered specifically for standard stretchers and gurneys. Designed with EMS, emergency departments, and patient transport in mind, it delivers fast application, a secure fit, and reliable surface protection.
Manufactured from durable nonwoven polyethylene, this sheet offers excellent wet and dry strength along with fluid resistance. The SnugFit elastic corner design keeps the sheet taut and flat during patient movement and transfers, reducing bunching, slippage, and rework—critical in fast-paced care environments.
