Intelligent Care: a Bulgarian medical equipment manufacturer
Intelligent Care is a brand of Stretchers Industries OOD that specializes in infection control and power-assisted drive systems for hospitals.
Incare operates in the medical sector and has built its international presence through partnerships, which form the foundation of its work. Its purpose is to create a safe and healthy work environment not only for patients but also for the healthcare workers who face increasingly complex viruses and widespread infections every day.
We believe that innovation can improve conditions for patients and healthcare professionals by reducing injuries, unforeseen casualties and the spread of viruses and infections. As a Bulgarian medical equipment manufacturer, we keep developing and improving our products and offer customized solutions to each customer.
Intelligent Care on video
This short video introduces Intelligent Care and the work of a Bulgarian medical equipment manufacturer focused on patient isolation and safe transport.
Our mission
Our mission is to design, develop and manufacture high-quality medical equipment that meets the specific needs of healthcare professionals. We are committed to innovation and continuous improvement, and we work closely with our partners and customers to ensure that our products are safe, reliable and effective.
Our goal is to provide solutions that make a real difference in the fight against disease and infection, while promoting a safe and healthy work environment for both patients and healthcare professionals.
Our vision
We want every patient and healthcare professional to have access to safe, well-designed medical equipment that improves the quality of care.
Letting clients choose specific components and accessories gives them a voice in the process, so they receive transport and isolation systems designed precisely for their needs. This is how a Bulgarian medical equipment manufacturer of our size works with hospitals: product by product, configuration by configuration.
The values of a Bulgarian medical equipment manufacturer
Four values guide how Intelligent Care, as a Bulgarian medical equipment manufacturer, designs, builds and supports its products.
Authenticity
Products are designed by our own team of engineers and designers and configured together with the customer, who chooses components and accessories to match the real needs of the ward.
Efficiency
Isolation units are ready to use and quick to deploy, and power-assisted systems reduce start-up push force and steering effort by up to 50%, so one caregiver can move a bed or stretcher.
Reliability
We work closely with partners and customers so that every product is safe, reliable and effective in daily clinical use, backed by customer service and support.
Quality
From basic stretchers to complex isolation units, each product follows the quality and performance standards of Stretchers Industries OOD.
What does Intelligent Care make?
Two product lines that address the same problem from two sides: limiting the spread of infection and limiting injuries among staff.
Isolation units
STR MK3, STR MK 4 and its motorized version STR MK 5, STR MK7 / STR MK8, STR MK9, Aura, Pandora and Pithos turn a stretcher, bed, chair, doorway or room into a sealed environment with negative or positive pressure. Explore the isolation units or start with the STR MK3 stretcher unit.
Power-assisted systems
Moovie, Lotus, STR MK 10 and the Handbike use motorized drive to reduce the physical effort of moving patients and equipment. See the power-assisted line.
Healthcare-associated infections are monitored across Europe by the ECDC, and musculoskeletal disorders are among the most common work-related health problems according to EU-OSHA. Both topics shape what a Bulgarian medical equipment manufacturer like Incare designs.
