The stretcher is constructed using an inner layer made from a tough high density polyethylene sheet, which give the stretcher it’s rigidity when curved around the patient.
The outer fabric shell is made using two different materials. The carry handles and vertical lift attachment points are construct from 2” web and are designed as structural attachment points for a lifting bridle. The plastic tubing on the carry handle makes for a much more comfortable carry for rescuers.
The built-in colour-coded full body adjustable harness restrains the patient securely in the stretcher so there is no need to fold over the head and foot end of the stretcher, which can cause discomfort to the patient.
Padded straps in the shoulder and groin areas make for a comfortable fit, while the foot strap stops the patient from sliding down during vertical lifts. The six outer 2 “web restraint straps further secure the patient into the stretcher by wrapping the stretcher around the patient’s body using a two-bar, thee-bar steel buckle system, which is easy and quick to work with even with glove on. The stretcher comes with a cordura storage bag with backpack shoulder straps. |
