Traverse Rescue Stretcher

Traverse Rescue Stretcher

The Traverse Rescue Stretcher was designed and constructed for both horizontal and vertical casualty evacuations. The lightweight and compact roll up design makes this stretcher ideal for high angle and confined space rescue, as well as back country wilderness and helicopter operations. The wrap-around concept gives the patient a feeling of security and protects arms and sides from further injury during evacuation procedures.

The Traverse Rescue Stretcher is constructed using an inner layer made from a tough, high density polyethylene sheet, giving the stretcher its rigidity when curved around the patient. The outer fabric shell is made using two different materials. The base fabric is a 1350 Denier Cordura nylon with a heavy PU coating, which has been specially woven to be as tough as possible to resist abrasion and cuts. The top layer is 1000 Denier Cordura making a tough but comfortable layer for the patient to lay on. The carry handles and vertical lift attachment points are constructed from 2” web and designed as structural attachment points for a lifting bridle. The plastic tubing on the carry handle makes for a comfortable carry for rescuers. The built-in color coded full body adjustable harness restrains the patient securely. The stretcher comes with a Cordura storage bag with backpack shoulder straps.
