 A Foldable Stretcher is a portable, manual patient-carrying device consisting of a hinged metal frame and a fabric sling, designed for compact storage and rapid deployment. Its primary use is for evacuating patients from confined spaces, rough terrain, or disaster scenes where wheeled trolleys cannot access. It is a fundamental piece of equipment for emergency medical services, search and rescue teams, industrial first aid, and mass casualty management, enabling a team of bearers to safely transport a patient to a point where advanced care or wheeled transport is available. Its key advantage is its minimal storage footprint, making it an essential logistical tool for any emergency response system.
