How it is used
A folding stretcher is the simplest way to carry a patient who cannot walk: bearers lift it by the side tubes and move the patient from the scene, the ambulance or the emergency entrance to a trolley or bed. Folded, it takes up a strip only about 150 mm wide, so several can be kept in a store room, a corridor cupboard or an ambulance.
The side tubes carry feet that hold the stretcher off the floor when it is put down, keeping the patient clear of wet or dirty ground. After use, the waterproof cover and the aluminium frame can be washed and decontaminated with chlorine solution, which matters in emergency and outbreak settings.
- Unfold the stretcher to its full width.
- Place it beside the patient and transfer the patient onto the cover.
- Lift with bearers at both ends, keeping the stretcher level.
- After use, wash the cover, decontaminate it with chlorine solution and fold the stretcher for storage.
