Australia and New Zealand Emergency and Transport Stretchers Market Overview

A stretcher or gurney is a medical apparatus used to carry patients who cannot move independently. For instance, they can transport critically injured patients into and out of an ambulance. Some stretchers are wheeled, making them easier for one person to handle. Below are more details on stretchers and their history. According to a French manuscript written in 1380, the first stretcher was a frame that used wicker. The stretcher may or may not have been used for medical purposes. However, during the 18th century, stretchers for medical purposes were developed. These stretchers were used to rescue people who were injured while climbing mountains. People preferred using these stretchers since they would incur more injuries without them.

The evolution of emergency and transport stretchers has been driven by a need for improved patient care and safety, as well as advancements in technology and materials. Today’s medical stretchers have improved since those used in the 19th century. They are designed to offer neck stability and can be moved into and out of an ambulance quickly and efficiently. Many medical professionals today could hardly imagine completing their jobs without a medical stretcher. This medical equipment is essential for the emergency medical service industry, and companies like Coast Biomedical Equipment provide new and refurbished crucial medical equipment, supplies, and accessories.

The evolution of mountain stretcher design inevitably runs parallel with the development of mountain rescue. It is difficult to separate one story from the other; however, the focus here is on stretchers and their various designers rather than on those who have used them or, indeed, the folk who’ve needed them. In familiar with nearly every advance, progress is usually influenced by a need to solve a problem identified in an existing facility. The rescue stretchers now available to teams have thus evolved from the earlier and more basic designs. It is, therefore, appropriate to have a quick look at what was in use before the emergence of mountain rescue as we know it today.
