Stretchers are medical transport devices that have been used since ancient times to move casualties or injured people from one place to another. It is a simple type of litter and, in some cases, still referred to by that name. Though difficult to pinpoint exactly who invented the stretcher, or when it was first used, it is known that the use of stretchers were widely used on battlefields and in emergency situations, where rough terrain hindered travel by wheeled vehicles. Stretchers have always served to protect a person from further injury during transportation as well as to ease the burden on the people carrying the stretcher itself, as opposed to carrying the injured person without assistance at all.
The modern ambulance stretcher has wheels that make transportation much easier, regardless of the terrain. An ambulance stretcher is basically a type of hospital gurney, or a narrow bed, on a wheeled frame that is typically adjustable in height. They are usually collapsible as well. Ambulance stretchers may also have a lock inside the ambulance that serves to secure the injured person during transport. They may also have or utilize straps to secure the patient or to prevent the patient from moving and thereby aggravating any wounds. The key value of these stretchers is to prevent further injury and facilitate safe movement of the patient onto a fixed hospital bed or examination table upon arrival at the emergency room.
Though ambulance stretchers are irreplaceable items utilized for the safe and secure transportation of patients, Medical Supplies and Equipment Company has a vast array of other modes of patient transportation to choose from in our Hospital Gurneys & Stretchers lines:
