Scoop Stretchers

The Scoop Stretchers are devices used specifically for moving injured people. It is ideal for carrying casualties with possible spinal injuries. Moving injured people is a painstaking process that calls for reliable equipment such as a durable scoop stretcher or backboard. The stretchers eliminate the need for log-roll maneuvers, which significantly decreases movement to the cervical spine. They are also ideal for hip injuries and for accident victims found on the street. Scoop stretchers are most often used to lift people who may have a spinal cord injury from the ground, either due to unconsciousness or in order to uphold stability.
