Lightweight and Foldable Stretchers for Swift Transfers

The responsive use of a stretcher in a Emergency Evacuation scenario involves specific devices that enable rapid patient transfer. According to medical guidelines, these specific use stretchers should be constructed so that although rugged, they are lightweight and highly mobile. The design follows a general principle of simple folding and unfolding so that the device can be rapidly deployed. For instance, firefighters operating in a burned structure can rapidly dislodge the folding necessary to enable exit of injured individuals. There is probably no culture in the world where the notion of evacuation in emergency situations is not recognized, and constructed such as these provide essential aid for the safe evacuation of injured individuals in any emergency situations without discrimination of ethnicity, regionalism, or culture.
