• Hygiene and maintenance: the waterproof material prevents the absorption of organic fluids → ensures rapid and effective decontamination.
• Logistical efficiency: the foldable design and dedicated bag → allow storage in minimal spaces inside ambulances or rescue backpacks.
• Transport safety: the reinforced handles ensure an ergonomic and firm grip → reduce the risk of accidental falls during handling.
• Timely intervention: the instructions printed on the sheet → facilitate correct use even in situations of high operational stress.
• Versatility of use: the stability of the support → allows the performance of immediate CPR maneuvers without having to wait for transfer to a rigid surface.
• Ergonomics for rescuers: the integrated support pads → cushion the impact with the ground, improving operator comfort during lifting.

The H690_21 stretcher finds its ideal use in contexts of first aid and emergency medicine, especially where mobility is limited by architectural barriers or inaccessible terrain. It is widely used by civil protection teams for rapid evacuations, in the sports medical field and for transporting patients from the scene of the event to the collection point or ambulance. Its resistance also makes it suitable for use in industrial and construction site contexts.

This model is the right choice when an optimum weight-to-capacity ratio is required. Unlike rigid stretchers, the H690_21 can be carried by a single operator with minimum physical effort (only 1.7 kg), while guaranteeing the necessary surface rigidity to support emergency maneuvers such as CPR. It is an indispensable device as backup equipment or for teams operating in constant mobility who need equipment that does not compromise their agility.

What is the main advantage compared to a scoop or rigid stretcher?

The advantage lies in the extreme compactness and reduced weight, which allow it to be transported in a bag. While rigid stretchers are preferable for specific spinal trauma, the soft stretcher excels in rapid evacuation and overcoming obstacles in very narrow spaces.

Is the Tarpaulin material certified for high loads?

Yes, Tarpaulin is a high-tenacity technical material, specifically selected to guarantee the nominal load capacity of 120 kg, maintaining structural integrity and tensile strength required by current regulations in the rescue sector.

Can the stretcher be washed in an autoclave?

No, washing must be carried out manually with neutral detergents or specific disinfectant solutions for technical plastic materials. The waterproofness of the material ensures that dirt remains on the surface, facilitating mechanical removal.
