Emergency rescue stretcher supplies are essential for safe and efficient patient evacuation. These supplies combine sturdy construction, mobility features, and patient - safety accessories to meet diverse rescue needs.
Core Components
Frames: Made from aircraft - grade aluminum or stainless steel, frames support 500 - 750 lbs. Aluminum is lightweight, while stainless steel resists corrosion. Surfaces: Non - porous materials like HDPE or PVC - coated fabric prevent abrasions and simplify cleaning.
Wheels: Pneumatic wheels offer shock absorption on uneven terrain; foam - filled wheels avoid flats. All - terrain wheels with deep treads provide better traction. Handles: Telescopic handles (36 - 48 inches) are adjustable for ergonomic use, and foldable handles aid storage.
Restraints: Nylon or polyester straps with quick - release buckles secure patients. Lateral straps enhance stability. Padding: High - density foam or inflatable mattresses cushion pressure points, with antimicrobial coatings for hygiene.
Specialized Accessories
For stair - climbing, tracked systems or articulating wheels ease vertical transport. Vertical rescue kits with ropes and harnesses enable safe evacuation from heights. In water rescue, inflatable collars or foam buoyancy keep stretchers afloat.
Regulatory Compliance
Supplies adhere to standards like ISO 13485, EN 1865, and FDA regulations. Rigorous testing for load - bearing, durability, and environmental resistance ensures reliability in emergencies. These supplies are crucial for improving patient survival and recovery rates.
