Aluminium Scoop Stretcher
Ferno Aluminium Scoop Stretcher – Lightweight Split Design for Safe Transfer
The Ferno Aluminium Scoop Stretcher is designed for the safe and efficient handling of patients with potential spinal, pelvic, or multiple injuries. Its unique split-apart design allows caregivers to “scoop” the patient without the need for logrolling, reducing movement and the risk of further injury during transfer.
Manufactured from lightweight yet durable aluminium, the stretcher provides superior strength and easy handling in emergency and pre-hospital care settings. Adjustable length sections accommodate patients of various heights, while the narrow profile improves access in confined spaces such as ambulances or stairwells.
The scoop stretcher separates easily at both ends for patient placement and reassembles securely using precision locking clips. It is compatible with most spine boards, immobilisation devices, and ambulance systems.
