About Scoop Stretcher RSE- 1173

Scoop Stretcher for Hospital Use

A scoop stretcher, also known as a clamshell stretcher, is a specially designed patient transport device used to safely lift, move, and transfer injured or immobilized patients without unnecessary movement of the spine or body. It consists of two interlocking longitudinal halves that can be separated and positioned on either side of the patient, then gently scooped together, minimizing the need for rolling or lifting.

Key Features:

• Split Design: Two-part construction allows placement under the patient without excessive handling.

• Lightweight & Durable: Made from high-strength aluminum or polymer for easy portability and long-term use.

• Adjustable Length: Adapts to different patient heights for optimal support.

• Radiolucent Material: Allows X-rays and imaging without removing the patient from the stretcher.

• Safety Locks & Straps: Ensures patient stability during transport.

Applications in Hospitals:
Ideal for emergency departments, trauma care, and patient transfers where spinal precautions are necessary. Commonly used in combination with spine boards and cervical collars to ensure maximum safety during handling.
