A Colombian factory has created a cardboard bed that can be transformed into a coffin — so that hospital workers in coronavirus units don’t have to move victims’ bodies, according to a report.
ABC Displays said the recyclable beds will help limit medical staffers’ exposure to the victims, Turkish news source Anadolu Agency reported.
“If the patient doesn’t survive, they don’t have to move the body from the bed. The bed can be transformed into a coffin,” said factory manager Rodolfo Gomez, adding that they’re the size of a stretcher and can carry up to 330 pounds.
The beds, which last 18 months, could help meet the need for more hospital beds for patients during the pandemic, Gomez said.
“We realized that there is the lack of bed [sic]. So, we decided to develop a cardboard bed which is 100% [eco-friendly] to deal with this problem,” Gomez said.
