• Agile evacuation in narrow passages: The total absence of rigid frames combined with the flexibility of the HDPE material allows the body of the device to be rolled and flexed, enabling the overcoming of bottlenecks and cramped places.
• Ease of storage and shoulder transport: The light weight of 5 kg and the possibility of storing the module in the bag with shoulder straps reduce the logistical bulk, simplifying transport on foot by a single rescuer.
• Safe vertical recovery in tunnels and shafts: The integration of dedicated slings allows the vertical lifting or lowering of the patient, guaranteeing linear and safe traction within deep underground environments.
• Balanced lifting with multiple operators: The presence of side handles distributed along the perimeter ensures a firm and comfortable grip for multiple rescuers simultaneously, distributing the load optimally.
• Economical and sustainable maintenance: The possibility of replacing each individual worn component separately avoids the purchase of a new entire device, reducing technical management costs over time.
• Rapid post-intervention sanitization: The smooth surface in high-density polyethylene is easy to clean and disinfect, allowing for the reduction of hygienic restoration times between one emergency and another.

This rollable HDPE stretcher finds its optimal application in recovery and first aid procedures managed by speleological rescue teams, civil protection, fire brigades, industrial emergency workers and ambulance medical personnel. Thanks to the dimensions of 135 x 92 cm and the lifting slings, it is the ideal tool to be used in contexts of evacuation from shafts, tunnels, sewage networks, industrial tanks, confined environments, mines and historical or natural environments with narrow or complicated passages that require high flexibility and medical compliance equipment.

The h1046_04 model is the correct choice when the safety plan or the medical purchase specification requires a flexible evacuation device without rigid frames, weighing only 5 kg and approved according to European parameters. It proves preferable to traditional rigid backboards or spinal boards in confined space contexts where geometric barriers prevent standard horizontal turning or lifting maneuvers. Choosing this module means investing in a product of the highest quality produced in Italy and compliant with EU Regulation 2017/745, which guarantees operational continuity thanks to the repairability of the individually replaceable components and the maximum geometric compatibility detectable in the file image_573da2.png.

How does this rollable stretcher differ from a traditional rigid spinal board during a rescue in confined environments?

Traditional spinal boards have a fixed shape and length that make them impossible to insert or bend in the presence of angled passages or reduced entrances. The h1046_04 rollable stretcher is devoid of rigid frames and is manufactured in flexible HDPE, characteristics that allow the device’s footprint to be temporarily adapted to the geometry of the bottleneck to overcome narrow places and tunnels, while keeping the injured person safe.

What regulations and health certifications guarantee the compliance of this medical device for official use in rescue services?

The device is entirely designed, tested and built in compliance with the stringent requirements established by EU Regulation 2017/745 relating to medical devices. As reported in the technical specifications of the file image_573da2.png, this official approval certifies its legal and clinical suitability for first aid, evacuation and patient transport maneuvers, offering a guarantee of reliability for public bodies and companies.

How is the patient’s vertical transport managed and what accessories are integrated for manual handling?

For vertical handling inside shafts or tanks, the stretcher is equipped as standard with special structural slings that allow linear lifting or lowering in total safety. For horizontal manual transport, the HDPE shell integrates robust side handles along the sides, designed to allow simultaneous gripping and coordinated lifting by multiple operators.
