When it comes to ease of use and storage, folding stretchers maintain the top position. They can be stored in ambulances, chapels, hospital supply closets, and even emergency response vehicles, because their form is adjustable, thus saving space. In case of an emergency like an accident or mass casualty event, quick release mechanisms allow for rapid deployment. Portability and strength are enhanced by lightweight materials like aluminum alloys. Because of low storage spaces in resource limited settings, folding stretchers can be utilized regardless of culture. Modern medical facilities also view them as an additional aid for transport.
