Scoop stretcher, negative pressure vacuum stretcher, basket stretcher, roll stretcher are very popular emergency stretcher, to master their use can be said to be very important, will directly affect the safety of our users, so we must learn the use of the method before use.

Scoop Stretcher

Scoop stretchers are made from two aluminium plates and are used to carry people by placing them in a flat position, securing their neck and then snapping them from the left and right side of the stretcher, from the side of the person before carrying out the work.

Vacuum stretcher

The use of a negative pressure inflatable stretcher is an important tool in the handling of people with severe spinal injuries. It holds the whole body properly and is used by flattening the cushion, fixing the person inside the cushion, extracting the air from the inside of the cushion so that the cushion gradually hardens and the person is held securely inside and needs to be kept stable during the handling process.

Basket stretcher

Basket stretchers are also known as boat stretchers and are often available in two types on the market, one made from aluminium and one made from synthetic resin, and are used to carry people by placing them inside the stretcher, which then has some raised edges around the perimeter of the stretcher layer to match the flat straps on the front to trap them inside the stretcher, so that they do not turn over or become unstable due to Not only does it ensure safety, but if the person is too heavy the straps are too tight and take too long to operate, there is a risk of safety hazards.

Rolling stretcher

Also known as the “multi-purpose stretcher bar”, it is similar in use to the basket stretcher but is lighter (8 to 12 kg) and can be rolled up in a roller or backpack. It is made from a special synthetic resin that is resistant to corrosion and is generally orange in colour. If a trapped person dies inside a rolled stretcher frame due to improper handling by the rescuers, this is called a “wrap” and most rolled stretcher frames are made of high strength canvas.

The bed of the stretcher can be adjusted to a forward or backward tilt according to actual operational requirements. The backrest is supported by lockable pneumatic springs and can be steplessly adjusted from 0-60 degrees.
