Quick Overview

This device is used to lift and move patients with suspected spinal, pelvic, or hip injuries from the ground onto a transport cot. Its primary function is to avoid the log-roll maneuver, minimizing patient manipulation and reducing the risk of further injury.

Field Application Steps

  1. Size the stretcher to the patient, then separate the two halves by disengaging the head and foot latches.
  2. With C-spine control maintained, position one half on each side of the patient and gently slide them underneath until they meet.
  3. Securely connect the foot-end latch first, followed by the head-end latch, ensuring both are fully engaged with an audible click.
  4. Apply the three restraint straps across the chest, pelvis, and lower legs to immobilize the patient to the device.
  5. Execute a coordinated lift by a minimum of two rescuers to transfer the patient to a primary transport device (e.g., gurney).
  6. Once transferred, immediately remove the scoop stretcher by separating the halves and sliding them out from under the patient.
