Traverse Rescue Stretcher

Some of the most difficult rescue situations are those that call for a vertical evacuation.  Rescues from caves or mines can present difficult or nearly impossible safe rescue conditions, but the Traverse Rescue Stretcher is designed to handle jobs like this.  When an accident occurs on a mountainside, necessitating lowering the patient for evacuation, emergency personnel can count on the Traverse Stretcher to perform perfectly.  Lightweight, but strong and durable, the stretcher can support a vertical weight of 550 pounds and a horizontal one of 770 pounds, making it valuable for nearly every situation.

Designed to wrap around the patient, the Traverse Stretcher prevents further damage to the body regardless of the rescue conditions.  Six straps will hold the patient firmly in place, there is an additional restraint for the head, and one for the feet to prevent slippage – especially important when a vertical rescue is being conducted. 

Although the Traverse Rescue Stretcher can be rolled up for convenience, the inside of the stretcher contains a polyethylene sheet which provides the rigid structure necessary for the removal of patient.  There is no need for a separate backboard with this rescue stretcher.  Three lifting handles on each side and one each at the foot and head of the stretcher allow for maximum carrying power.  The straps can also be used for lift by helicopter or winch.\
