ABSTRACT:
A stretcher for traumatized patients comprises a rigid board having a central core of polyimide foam and a skin of graphite reinforced expoxy; this board is exceptionally radiolucent. The board has built in handles for transporting the patient, straps for holding a patient on the board, and means for applying traction to a patient. The stretcher is designed for transporting the patient and applying a variety of diagnostic tests to the patient, including computer aided tomography scanning, without removing the patient from the stretcher. It also facilitates efforts to make a closed reduction of a cervical fracture with fluoroscopic monitoring.
