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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the Kemp USA Premium Patient Carry Sheet over a traditional stretcher for confined space rescues?

The Kemp USA Premium Patient Carry Sheet (SKU 10-986-BLK) is specifically designed for confined space evacuations where traditional stretchers won't fit. At just 72" x 38" x 0.15" and weighing only 4.4 lbs, this nylon evac litter can navigate narrow hallways, stairwells, and tight doorways that rigid stretchers cannot. The even weight distribution across multiple handles allows up to six rescuers to carry patients safely, making it ideal for basement rescues, aircraft evacuations, and building emergencies where maneuverability is critical.

Can the Kemp USA evac litter handle bariatric patients during emergency evacuations?

Yes, the Kemp USA Premium Patient Carry Sheet supports up to 600 lbs, making it suitable for bariatric patient transport. The heavy-duty nylon construction distributes weight evenly across the entire sheet, preventing stress concentration at any single point. This high weight capacity ensures EMS teams and rescue personnel can safely evacuate larger patients from hazardous situations without compromising structural integrity or rescuer safety.

How does the Kemp USA carry sheet store in emergency response vehicles compared to rigid backboards?

Unlike bulky spineboards and rigid stretchers, the Kemp USA Premium Patient Carry Sheet folds flat to just 0.15" thick, making it incredibly space-efficient for ambulances, fire trucks, and rescue vehicles. At 4.4 lbs, it's lightweight enough to carry in jump bags or store in overhead compartments. Multiple units can be stacked in the same space a single backboard would occupy, allowing first responders to equip more vehicles without sacrificing valuable storage space for other critical medical equipment.

What makes this patient transfer sheet suitable for multi-story building evacuations?

The Kemp USA evac litter excels in vertical evacuations thanks to its flexible nylon design and multiple carry points. During stairwell descents, the sheet conforms to the patient's body while maintaining 600 lb weight capacity, and the even weight distribution allows rescuers to position themselves at different heights on stairs. The black professional finish won't show wear from repeated use, and the durable nylon withstands dragging across concrete, metal, and rough surfaces during emergency egress from high-rise buildings or industrial facilities.

Is the Kemp USA carry sheet compatible with decontamination procedures after hazmat incidents?

Yes, the heavy-duty nylon construction of the Kemp USA Premium Patient Carry Sheet can be decontaminated and cleaned after hazmat or infectious disease exposures. Unlike fabric stretchers with complex stitching, the simple nylon design allows for thorough washing and disinfection between uses. This makes it an essential tool for EMS teams responding to chemical spills, biological hazards, or pandemic scenarios where patient transfer equipment must be sanitized to prevent cross-contamination.
