Why Do Patients Need to Be Immobilised?
When someone has suffered in a serious incident that resulted in blood loss or where it may be suspected that a joint is dislocated or broken, keeping the patient's body still is crucial for the following reasons:
- Allows injured areas to heal without further damage
- Reduces the likelihood of bleeding out and lets the body form blood clots
The stretcher is built with four strong patient restraining straps, which helps to keep casualties immobile in transit.
Durability and Strength
The construction of a stretcher can make or break the success of an casualty evacuation. Made from a high density polythene shell with a stainless steel outer frame, the Economy Stretcher is perfect for rescuing and transporting injured people, offering stability for both patients and those operating while ensuring long-term use.
Using the Economy Stretcher
It is important to remember that evacuation stretchers (just like any evacuation equipment) should not be used unless the operator has been properly trained and the appropriate risk assessments have been undertaken. If an injury has occurred, it is dangerous for an untrained operator to use the evacuation stretcher because it could lead to further or more severe injuries.
