A scoop Stretcher is a specialized device for moving injured individuals. It is particularly suitable for transporting patients with potential spinal injuries. The design of a scoop stretcher allows it to be divided vertically into two sections with shaped edges on the inside. These edges can be joined together underneath a patient.
Each half of the scoop stretcher is placed on either side of the patient. The two sections are then fastened together at the top and bottom to secure the patient.
Scoop Stretchers minimize unnecessary movement of injured areas during transportation. They keep the patient in a horizontal position, making them more comfortable than long spine boards.
Scoop stretchers can be used in quiet vehicles as long as the patient is properly secured. However, for enhanced comfort and safety, it is advisable to transfer the patient to a vacuum mattress. In this case, the scoop cot is placed on the vehicle device and then opened.
A scoop stretcher, often called a clamshell stretcher or orthopedic stretcher, is a specialized medical device. It is designed for the safe and efficient immobilization and transportation of injured individuals. These stretchers are especially useful in situations where minimizing spinal movement is crucial. This is important in cases of suspected spinal or pelvic injuries.
