Anetic Aid QA3 Drive stretcher: powered by esense for effortless patient transport

Revolutionising hospital mobility with intelligent drive assistance

Healthcare professionals asked for a stretcher that supports their workflow, not one that adds physical strain. Anetic Aid listened and responded.

Building on the trusted QA3 Stretcher platform, Anetic Aid introduced the QA3 Drive range: a smart, motor-assisted stretcher designed to make patient transport safer, easier and less physically demanding for clinical teams.

The challenge: reducing physical strain in patient transport

Manual handling during patient transport can require significant physical effort, especially when manoeuvring stretchers along long corridors or on ramps. Clinical staff needed a solution that offered:

  • Effortless mobility
  • Precise control
  • Reliable patient safety and comfort

Anetic Aid set out to meet these needs without compromising the quality and comfort the QA3 line is known for.

Reducing push and pull forces is particularly relevant in the UK healthcare sector, where HSE guidance emphasises the need to assess and reduce manual handling risks.

The solution: QA3 Drive stretcher with esense electric drive wheel

By integrating the esense Up drive wheel, Anetic Aid developed the QA3 Drive stretcher, a compact, lightweight and highly manoeuvrable system featuring:

  • Motorised drive assistance
  • 5th wheel steering for tight spaces
  • Touch-sensitive handles for intuitive control

The intelligent esense drive system automatically supports the operator’s movement, enabling controlled and effortless transport, even on gradients up to 10°. The QA3 Drive was designed for patient transport, examination and intubation.

"...chance to embed risk prevention and staff welfare"

“Budgets must be justified, but we knew any injury causing extended sick leave would significantly impact staffing. This was our chance to embed risk prevention and staff welfare into our  capital replacement program.”
