The Advantage Basket Stretcher, by Traverse Rescue (a FERNO Group Company), is ideal for safely transporting your patients in even the most technical rescue situations. The stretcher has a single-plane sliding surface and a fully internal stainless-steel frame that provides a 2500-lb strength rating. The outer high-density polyethylene (HDPE) shell is attached to the top rail, providing you with numerous options for securely tying your patient to the completely exposed secondary rail. Generous cut-outs in the shell provide multiple sections of exposed top rail for handling, and the 7/8 inch tubing allows for a more comfortable grip. The patient mattress is made of a closed-cell foam that will not allow fluids to soak into it and is able to withstand even the harshest cleaning agents.
