Quick Overview

The Kemp USA Premium Patient Carry Sheet is a soft stretcher used to extricate non-ambulatory patients from confined spaces like tight stairwells where rigid gurneys cannot pass. It is also used to perform safe, multi-person team lifts of bariatric patients, reducing rescuer strain and injury risk.

Field Application Steps

Assess the patient and confirm no contraindications for a soft stretcher; log roll the patient onto the center of the sheet.
Position a minimum of four operators (six for bariatric) evenly along the sides, each acquiring a firm grip on the reinforced handles.
On the team leader's command, lift in unison using proper body mechanics (lift with legs, not back).
Navigate the confined space, with the team leader providing clear verbal directions for obstacles and turns.
In a coordinated movement, lower the patient onto the primary transport gurney for definitive transfer.
