Is your NICU or Nursery prepared to evacuate safely and efficiently in an emergency?

The WEEVAC 6 is a lightweight stretcher strong enough to support adult patients and the only stretcher in the world designed to carry six bundled babies to safety in size-adjustable, heat retaining pockets.

WEEVAC products including the WEEVAC 6 and adult version, WEEVAC TC are an innovative line of emergency evacuation stretcher systems, patented in Canada and the U.S.A., with other worldwide patents pending.

WEEVAC stretchers have been adopted by institutions across North America to enhance their evacuation plans – from Hawaii to New Zealand and as far away as Sarajevo Children’s Hospital with the UNHCR.

The adjustable pockets accommodate neonatal through regular nursery sized infants and made of a space-age, heat reflective material internally, and water proof material externally.

Other WEEVAC products include rescue stretchers for EMS and Search & Rescue, a marine storage system designed for the Canadian Coast Guard and a transport incubator cover designed to maximize heat and energy efficiency.

The Weevac 6 is winner of the Manning Award for Innovation, the Sir Joseph Flavelle Award for Technical Innovation, the National Research Council of Canada’s 75^thAnniversary Award for Outstanding Medical Device Technology and voted one of Canada’s Top 50 Inventions of all time.
