DESCRIPTION
Alphin MR and Alphinlite Stretcher
The stretcher is shaped to t the casualty i.e. narrow at the foot end tapering out up to its maximum width at the
shoulder region then forming around the head in an ark.
The polypropylene bed is cut out around the perimeter enabling carrying without the use of the handles.
The casualty securing straps hold the casualty rmly and can be cross connected in any conguration to avoid injured
areas. The shoulder straps positively locate the torso and are adjustable for casualty length and for being backpacked
by the rescuer.
The adjustable stretcher lifting straps are of 44mm Nylon with ABS buckling system. Their individual break
strength when new is 10kN. These straps are also designed to be used as carrying cross shoulder straps or
maybe used for pulling and restraint.
Stretcher lift attachment points are welded completely through the bed frame and down one side. Their individual
break strength when tested in a test laboratory at an angled pull similar to that of a single point lift (i.e. worst
case scenario) = 13kN each.
The stretcher has been designed so that the weight of the casualty will stop the stretcher folding when carried. The
locks must be engaged as this reduces movement when used as a sledge or for vertical lifts, also in casualty care
where vomiting may occur and the stretcher requires to be positioned at an angle (not upside down in horizontal
mode as this does not help the casualty or the stretcher).
Evac Body Splint
The stretcher is shaped to t the casualty i.e. narrow at the foot end tapering out up to its maximum width at the
shoulder region then forming around the head in a cone. The casualty securing straps hold the casualty rmly and
can be cross connected in any conguration to avoid injured areas. An integral full body harness and adjustable
foot strap prevents the casualty sliding during vertical lift or adverse movement. The 2 main shoulder lifting loops
are for vertical rescue. There are 4 carrying handles that can also be used to connect to lifting straps. Drag loops
are located at both the head and foot of the splint. The single strap used for holding the splint in its rolled position
can also be used as a head restraint strap when threaded through the side loops on the head cone of the splint.
