The Rod Stretcher offers a rigid support for the casualty that can be carried between a six-man team. The stretcher is fully adjustable to accommodate a wide range of sizes and will securely contain a casualty for a vertical or horizontal lift. The simplistic and modern design allows a casualty to be recovered with minimal effort for the rescuers and maximum support for the casualty.
The stretchers compact nature enables it to be easily stowed in an emergency vehicle and carried by a single person to the scene of the emergency.
The Rod Stretcher has been designed for use by rescue teams, paramedics and first aiders both on land and with the aid of the floatation supports in water.
The Rod Stretcher is manufactured using re-enforcing rods of Carbon Fibre that are enclosed within tubular flanged webbing. When fitted and sewn at right angles between the double thickness pockets of a second webbing an incredibly strong structure is created. The result is a device that is very strong yet still lightweight and compact.
The material is wipe and spray clean as well as rot and mildew resistant. The Stretcher has been snatch tested over 10,000 cycles with no deterioration. The webbing has tested against UV light, oil resistance and practical performance.
The Rod Stretcher can be supplied in multi colour or black.
