Quick Overview

This folding pole stretcher is designed for the rapid movement and evacuation of patients when equipment weight and storage space are primary constraints, such as in mass casualty, athletic, or search and rescue scenarios. It functions as a lightweight, non-rigid litter for transporting individuals without suspected spinal injuries.

Field Application Steps

  1. Deploy by unfolding lengthwise, then crosswise. Firmly press down both central spreader bars until they lock flat.
  2. Position the open stretcher next to the patient. Use a two or three-person coordinated lift or log-roll to place the patient centrally on the nylon bed.
  3. Assign a minimum of two bearers (head and feet), with four being optimal for stability. The head-bearer issues commands for lifting.
  4. Transport the patient feet-first, using smooth, deliberate movements and clear communication about terrain.
  5. At the destination, offload the patient using a coordinated lift. Do not drag the stretcher.
  6. After use, decontaminate, inspect for damage, and return to its folded configuration for storage.
