Choosing an Emergency Stretcher or Litter
Patient-transport equipment should be selected for the environment in which it will be stored, deployed, and carried. Consider anticipated transport distances, stairs and narrow passages, available responders, storage limitations, patient weight, and the requirements of your organization’s emergency plan.
Poleless and Soft Litters
Compact poleless litters are designed for portability and efficient storage. They can be placed in response bags, vehicles, cabinets, emergency equipment caches, or treatment-area supplies where space is limited.
Folding and Structured Litters
Folding litter systems provide a more structured transport platform while reducing storage space when not in use. Review each product’s folded size, assembled dimensions, weight, load rating, and handling instructions when comparing models.
Patient-Transport Accessories
Restraint straps and related accessories help responders secure and manage patients during transport. Accessories should be compatible with the selected litter and used according to the manufacturer’s instructions and your organization’s training and operating procedures.

More Prepared supplies stretchers, litters, and response equipment to schools, businesses, government agencies, healthcare facilities, CERT programs, and public safety organizations.
