EXtretcher offers innovative rescue options for tight spaces

When natural disaster or fires strike, first responders are expected to extricate victims quickly and safely. Removing the injured from tight spaces in burning or collapsed buildings is all part of the job. EXtretcher, a rigidly sturdy inflatable stretcher that uses airbag technology, now is available to make the safe transport of injured patients possible with lifesaving efficacy.

Weighing just seven pounds but fully supportive of up to 450 pounds, EXtretcher is ideal for first responders, hospitals, nursing homes and senior living communities. Only two people are needed to transport a disabled patient from the upper floors of a building – an ideal solution for situations when elevators are not available. EXtretcher also can be used as a temporary bed in mass casualty incidents until patients can be treated in the hospital.

Instantly inflatable with a replaceable CO2 cartridge or by hand, EXtretcher can be stored in a space about the size of a folded towel. Its small size, full support and instant adaptability for even large patients make it an important enhancement for highway patrol vehicles.

“EXtretcher is the only inflatable stretcher designed for emergency responders everywhere,” said Alan Cunningham, CEO of SaferMoto, Sparks, NV-based west coast distributor of the EXtretcher. “With its fast inflation, sturdy construction and compact design, it is created to save lives though stabilization and decreased time to treatment.”

EXtretcher currently retails at $799 with discounts offered for volume purchasers. It comes with a one-year product defect warranty. It is available online at www.EXtretcher.com or at selected trade shows. For more information, please contact EXtretcher at 877-250-6686, [email protected] or visit their website.
