ABSTRACT:
This invention is an advancement in the safe and practical methods of transporting sick or injured patients. The Manhandler is a flexible stretcher constructed of pliable materials. The injured patient is firmly secured to the cot portion of the system by a flexible wrap of sturdy material that extends along each side of the patient's entire body and is secured across his body by a series of strong straps. The litter and the wrap are attached to two parallel flexible strips of material which form lifting grips. These side grips provide support when lifted from the side. A solid sheet of plastic material provides rigidity to the cot portion of the stretcher when side lift is applied, yet remains flexible to allow elevation of the feet and head when such lift is released. The supporting material is radio-opaque to allow x-rays without the necessity of removing the patient from the litter. The longitudinal movement of the patient is restrained, both by the securing straps and an additional stabilizing wrap at the foot of the stretcher. A bi-fold option of the stretcher is available which allows the cot portion of the system to be folded in half for use with children and smaller patients.
