Rescue stretchers
Areas of application and application
Rescue stretchers are used for the safe transport and immobile storage of injured or immobile people during emergency operations, transport and rescue work. Typical operational situations include gentle repositioning, rescue from confined spaces, patient handovers and transport on uneven terrain. In everyday practice, rescue stretchers support efficient processes through rapid deployment, ergonomic handling and clear interfaces to carrying aids, vacuum mattresses and rescue accessories.
Product types and features
The category includes different designs, materials and functionalities, adapted to different requirement profiles:
- Folding and folding stretchers for space-saving storage and quick readiness for use
- Shovel stretchers and spine boards for stable spinal positioning
- Vacuum mattress-compatible stretchers for pressure-distributing immobilization
- Lightweight and aluminum stretchers for off-road use
- Carry with height-adjustable, foldable or telescopic handles
- Hygienic, washable covers and disinfectable surfaces
Materials, safety and ergonomics
Modern rescue stretchers are characterized by robust, lightweight constructions made of aluminum or glass fiber reinforced plastic as well as tear-resistant, disinfectable textiles. Tested load values, secure belt systems and non-slip handles are central. Ergonomic carrying points, low weight and easy-to-use locks reduce the risk of handling errors and relieve the burden on emergency personnel during repeated transports.
Workflow advantages
Systematically selected rescue stretchers improve process times and patient-oriented handovers: standardized attachment points make it easier to work with rescue vehicles and lifting devices, hygienic surfaces reduce cleaning effort, and modular components allow flexible use in exam scenarios, emergency training and routine operations.
Brands and availability
The selection includes solutions from manufacturers such as Ferno, Söhngen and HARTMANN as well as other specialized providers who offer different weight classes, lying surface widths and certifications depending on the model. When choosing, pay attention to compatibility with existing accessories, test marks and ease of maintenance.
Selection criteria
The main criteria for selection are load limit, weight, pack size, cleanability and the possibility of combining with immobilization systems. Electric lifting systems, carrying adapters and additional cushioning solutions are available for special applications.
