Discover Spark, the robotized stretcher by Stem EMS that revolutionizes medical transport. Lightweight, robust, and technologically advanced, it benefits from the LATAMID 66 H2 G/50 compound, ensuring outstanding performance.
Stem EMS, an Italian leader in patient handling systems, presents Spark, a robotized stretcher redefining medical transport. With an advanced computerized mechanism, Spark ensures safety, comfort, and adaptability even in the most complex operational environments.
The core of Spark is its robotized mechanism, designed to keep the patient in a horizontal position at all times, adjusting height, arm distance, and tilt for uneven terrain and loading/unloading operations.
This technology is also ideal for specialized configurations, such as neonatal or biocontainment transport, making Spark a versatile device for various medical needs.
To ensure robustness, lightness, and maneuverability, Stem EMS collaborated with Capra, a company based in Parma, to develop the wheel support unit using technologically advanced materials.
The chosen compound for the structural parts is LATAMID 66 H2 G/50 (PA66 reinforced with 50% glass fiber), selected to meet the following requirements:

The mechanical performance of the compound was validated by LATI through FEM numerical simulations. Tests confirmed that the material withstands a load of 1000 N applied in various directions and passes the crash test with a force of 8000 N.
Using this structural compound required advanced engineering solutions for molding. Capra developed a special mold with nitrided slides to counteract the abrasive action of the glass fibers, made from high thermal conductivity steel for more precise thermoregulation.
