The Solution for Confined Space Extrication Rigid stretchers and backboards are essential, but they have a major weakness: they don't bend around tight corners. The Kemp USA Premium Patient Carry Sheet (often called a "soft stretcher" or "transfer flat") is the definitive tool for moving non-ambulatory patients out of difficult environments. Whether navigating narrow stairwells, winding hallways, or cluttered hoarding situations, this flexible litter allows you to wrap the device around the patient and maneuver through spaces where a cot simply won't fit.
Constructed from heavy-duty Black Nylon, this carry sheet is engineered for strength, boasting a 600 lb Weight Capacity. It features a series of reinforced handles around the perimeter, allowing multiple rescuers to share the load. This ensures even weight distribution, reducing the risk of back injury for the medics and providing a more stable, comfortable ride for the patient.
Key Features
- High-Capacity Transport: Built to support up to 600 lbs, making it a reliable choice for bariatric transfers or moving heavy patients in emergency scenarios.
- Confined Space Maneuverability: Unlike rigid boards, the flexible nylon body allows responders to bend the stretcher to fit around tight corners, down spiral staircases, or through narrow door frames.
- Multi-Point Lifting: Designed with multiple grab handles along the sides, allowing 2, 4, or 6 rescuers to lift simultaneously. This "team lift" approach maximizes stability and minimizes fatigue.
- Durable & Discreet: Made from easy-to-clean, abrasion-resistant nylon in a professional Black color that hides dirt and grime.
- Ultra-Compact Storage: Weighing only 4.4 lbs, it folds down flat (approx. 0.15” high when laid out), easily fitting into a jump bag, under a bench seat, or in a cabinet.
Why It Matters "Lift assists" and transfers are the leading cause of career-ending back injuries in EMS. The Kemp Carry Sheet changes the mechanics of the lift. By adding handles and allowing more responders to grab on, you reduce the strain on any single individual. It is an essential "Plan B" when the stair chair or gurney can't reach the patient.
