The EMSCompact Stretcher on Wheels

The IDF (Israel Defence Forces) presented Shoshana-Metal with the problem of evacuating patients in a mass casualty event, when the lack of sufficient manpower is one of the biggest concerns. Thus, the need for a stretcher that can be carried by one person only is crucial.

The EMSCompact Stretcher on Wheels not only addresses the above problem, but also provides a solution to the challenge created by stretchers with wheels: How does one ensure a safe and smooth carrying of the injured patient, who is obviously in a lot of pain, especially when it comes to stairs?

The Unique Device of the EMSCompact Stretcher on Wheels is composed of wheels and a special sliding part, whose special mechanism enables a smooth descending and mounting in stairs without any bumps transmitted to the patient.

The EMSCompact Stretcher on wheels is the Standard EMSCompact Stretcher with an additional device for wheels in the front side of the stretcher. The device is composed of wheels and a special sliding part. You can attach or remove the device by using 2 screws only. The stretcher also includes the legs pocket. The patient’s legs are inserted into a legs-pocket in order to prevent him from sliding forward. When the wheels roll down the stairs, the weight is on the sliding device, while the wheels are in the air. Thus, the stretcher maintains its slant, sliding smoothly on the stairs without any bumps transmitted to the patient. The sliding part slides on the edge of the stair until the wheels reach the next stair.
