Ambulance Stretchers and Accessories

Transporting a patient in an emergency situation not only requires precision and care, but also speed and comfort. Choosing the right ambulance cot for an emergency vehicle is crucial to providing the best care in these critical situations. Take a look at MFI’s offerings such as from Stryker, Allied Healthcare, and Ferno to make the most ideal choice.

Types of Ambulance Stretchers

Stretchers are more than just beds for transporting patients in crisis. Many models have versatile styles that can overcome rough terrain, stairs, and other difficult-to-reach places.

Ambulance Cots

Ambulance cots serve as vital equipment in emergency medical services. These specialized stretchers, such as the Stryker Power-PRO XT Ambulance Cot, are designed to safely transport patients from accident scenes or homes to healthcare facilities. What makes ambulance stretchers unique is their adaptability and functionality. They feature adjustable height and backrest positions, allowing medical professionals to optimize patient comfort and treatment. Additionally, ambulance stretchers often have built-in safety features like restraints and lockable wheels to ensure the patient's stability during transit. Their durability and ease of maneuverability make them essential tools in providing timely and efficient medical care during critical situations.

Evacuation Chairs

Evacuation chairs like the Stryker Model 6254 Evacuation Chair play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of individuals with mobility impairments during emergencies. These specialized devices are designed to facilitate the rapid evacuation of people from buildings, particularly in cases of fires or other disasters where staircases may be the primary means of escape. What sets evacuation chairs apart is their compact and foldable design, which allows them to be easily stored in stairwells or other accessible locations. They feature sturdy wheels and tracks, enabling a smooth descent down stairs, even in narrow or confined spaces. The inclusion of safety straps and brakes ensures the passenger's security throughout the evacuation process. Evacuation chairs are indispensable tools in ensuring that everyone, regardless of mobility challenges, can be safely and swiftly evacuated to a place of safety during emergencies.

Types of Stretcher Supports

Splints

Splints are designed to support and immobilize injured limbs, typically bones or joints, to promote proper healing and reduce pain. They come in various forms, including rigid and soft splints, and serve multiple purposes. Splints are used to stabilize fractures, dislocations, or sprains, preventing further damage and reducing movement that could exacerbate the injury. They are valuable tools in emergency situations, offering immediate relief and support to injured individuals. Moreover, splints can also be employed in non-emergency settings for chronic conditions or post-surgical recovery, aiding in the healing process and providing comfort to patients with musculoskeletal injuries.

Immobilization Board

Backboards and immobilization boards serve as essential tools in emergency medical situations. These devices are specifically designed to provide support and immobilization to individuals who may have sustained spinal or limb injuries. What makes them unique is their ability to securely hold a patient's body in a stable position, minimizing the risk of further damage during transportation to a medical facility. Backboards are typically used for spinal injury victims, while immobilization boards are versatile and can be employed for various limb injuries. They are constructed from sturdy materials such as plastic or wood and often come with straps or restraints to keep the patient securely in place. These boards are indispensable in preventing additional harm and ensuring safe and efficient patient care in emergency scenarios. There are also boards available specifically designed for pediatric patients, such as the Allied Healthcare Infant / Pediatric Immobilization Board.
