Stretcher for the cleansing of bedridden patients

A gurney for cleaning patients confined to bed comprising:

• a horizontal support table having openings;
• a container having a drain, the container being deployed below the table and having a mouth edge that follows the perimetral edge of the table whereby washing fluid can pass through the table openings to the container;
• a frame for affixing the table and the container, the frame comprising longitudinal sides, support legs and wheels for moving along the floor, the legs being comprised of hinged members connected in the middle to permit the folding of the legs to position the table at a level to enable transfer of the patient to or from the table;
• a laminar material piece that surrounds the table comprising flexible and foldable walls, with a lower edge of the laminar material piece attached to the frame coextensively with the perimeter of the table whereby the table forms the bottom of a basin for washing the patient, the laminar piece being positioned such that in a folded position it extends below and surrounds the table and, in an unfolded position, it extends above the table to form a space for washing the patient;
• and
• extensions at opposite ends of the respective longitudinal sides of the frame extending vertically above the aforementioned table and joined at each end of the frame by transversal bars, the extensions having respective rows of notches in which the upper edge of the laminar piece in the unfolded position can be selectively positioned with respect to the table.
