Description

A Field Stretcher
The present invention relates to field stretchers, particularly for recovering wounded soldiers from field.
Field stretchers are known in the art and are used for transporting wounded individuals in the field. They differ from medical stretchers used in medical facilities in that they are designed to be lightweight and compact, enabling the field stretcher to be carried about an individuals person and a casualty to be moved by a single person.
Known field stretchers comprise a simple piece of fabric material upon which and injured person may be placed, then the stretcher dragged to a position of safety. Problems with this type of stretcher exist in that a wounded individual may roll off the stretcher during transport. Also, in many instances, such stretchers are used to recover soldiers or other casualties from mine fields, having been wounded by a land mine. Often in such cases a patients legs may have been severely injured or removed and as such may have a significantly reduced body length. In such scenarios, known field stretchers are inappropriate since they are too large and again promote the incidence of patients rolling off the stretcher. The inappropriate length also dictates that carry handles are no longer in the optimum place for safe patient carriage.
It is an object of aspects of the present invention to provide a solution to the above mentioned or other problems.
According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a field stretcher comprising a patient carrying portion, a region thereof being operable to form a patient retaining pocket for retaining the patient on the stretcher, in use.
Preferably, the field stretcher comprises one or more handles, preferably to thereby facilitate the stretcher being dragged.
Preferably the patient carrying portion has a lower region and preferably an upper region. Preferably, the lower region generally corresponds to a position of a lower portion of a patient's body, in use. Preferably, the upper region generally corresponds to a position of an upper portion of a patient's body, in use. Preferably, the patient carrying portion is generally elongate and is preferably generally coffin shaped in plan. Preferably, the patient carrying portion comprises one or more handle at or toward an upper end thereof, preferably being the longitudinal terminus of the upper region.
Preferably, the patient carrying portion comprises one or more handles along sides thereof. Preferably, the handles are arranged in pairs, preferably at opposing sides of the patient carrying portion.
Preferably, the stretcher comprises a retaining region which is preferably operable to form a part of the patient retaining pocket, in use.
The retaining region may be joined to the lower region of the patient carrying portion. The retaining region may comprise an upstanding portion.
The patient carrying portion may comprise shortening means operable to shorten a portion, preferably a portion of the perimeter, of the patient carrying portion. In this manner, a patient retaining pocket may be formed. The shortening means may extend around a portion of the perimeter of the patient carrying portion and may extend around a portion of the perimeter of the retaining region. An example of perimeter shortening means is a drawstring. The field stretcher may comprise a drawstring operable to draw the patient carrying portion, thereby forming the patient retaining pocket. The drawstring may extend around a portion of an edge of the patient carrying portion. The drawstring may extend around a portion of the retaining region.
The patient carrying portion may comprise mattress retaining means. The patient carrying portion may comprise a mattress retaining pocket. The patient carrying portion may comprise a dual skin, which may have an access slit therein. The access slit may be situated toward an upper region of the patient carrying portion and may be a lateral slit, that is, generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the stretcher. Alternatively, the access slit may be situated toward a lower region of the patient carrying portion. A mattress may be placed between the two skins of the dual skinned patient carrying portion. The patient carrying portion may comprise a dual skin, which may have a manipulation slit therein, which may allow a user to pull the mattress into the stretcher body. The manipulation slit may be situated toward a lower end of the stretcher and may be parallel with a longitudinal axis of the stretcher..
The drawstring may be provided with a toggle to preferably allow the drawstring to be retained in a drawn position.
Preferably, the patient carrying portion is formed from a fabric material, preferably an abrasion resistant fabric material. The material may be synthetic. An example of a suitable material is Cordura (RTM) commercially available from Invista.
All of the features contained herein may be combined with any of the above aspects and in any combination.
For a better understanding of the invention, and to show how embodiments of the same may be carried into effect, reference will now be made, by way of example, to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings in which:
Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a Field Stretcher of the present invention;
Figure 2 shows a partial perspective end view of a Field Stretcher of the present invention showing a mat carrying pocket;
Figure 3 shows a partial view of a lower section of a Field Stretcher of the present invention;
Figure 4 shows a perspective view of a Field Stretcher having a patient thereon;
Figure 5 shows an enlarged view of a lower portion of a Field Stretcher of the present invention in a patient carrying configuration;
Figure 6 shows a perspective view of a Field Stretcher of the present invention having a patient therein, the Field Stretcher being in a patient carrying configuration; and
Figure 7 shows a perspective view of a second embodiment of a field stretcher of the invention. Referring to Figure 1 there is provided a field stretcher 102 having a patient carrying portion 104 in the form of a dual skinned fabric sheet. The carrying portion 104 is generally coffin shaped in plan, being an irregular hexagon, to mirror the general shape of a human body. In this manner, the carrying portion 104 is generally elongate and has a lower region 106, where a lower part of a patient's body is situated in use, and an upper region 108 where an upper part of a patient's body is situated, in use.
Pairs of handles 1 10, 1 12 and 1 14 are situated at edges of the stretcher 102. A first pair of handles 1 10 is situated at either side of the patient carrying portion 104 toward the lower region 106 thereof, a second pair of handles 1 12 is situated at either side of the patient carrying portion 104 at the widest part thereof (corresponding generally to the position of a patients shoulders, in use, and a third pair of handles 1 14 are situated at an upper end of the patient carrying portion 104, above a patient's head, in use. Toward the upper region 108 is a lateral slit 121 in an upper skin of the patient carrying portion and toward the lower region 106 is a longitudinal slit 123 in the upper skin of the patient carrying portion 104.
Referring to figure 2, there is shown a pocket 120 defined between the upper skin and lower skin of the dual skinned patient carrying portion 104 accessible via the lateral slit 121. Into this pocket may be inserted a thermal sleeping mat (not shown) to increase the comfort of a patient situated thereon. Insertion of the sleeping mat (not shown is made easier by accessing the pocket 120 via the longitudinal slit 123 and pulling the mat (not shown) down into the pocket 120.
The lower region 106 comprises an upstanding covering portion 1 17, which can be seen in detail in figure 3. As the patient carrying portion 104 is formed from a fabric material, the upstanding covering portion 1 17 is shown as being folded flat in figure 1. Around the edge of the covering portion 1 17 and the lower region 106 of the patient carrying portion 104 is a drawstring 1 19 housed in a channel 121. The drawstring 1 19 has a toggle 1 18 thereon situated halfway along the edge of the covering portion 1 17. The longitudinal slit 123 for allowing the easy insertion of the mat (not shown) can clearly be seen in figure 3.
Referring to figure 4 there is shown the stretcher 102 having had the drawstring 1 19 drawn so that the covering portion 1 17 and the lower region 106 form a pocket 220 in which a patient can be retained. Referring now to figure 4 there is shown a patient 200 situated on a field stretcher 102. The sides of the stretcher 102 have been pulled up over the sides of the patient 200 and the covering portion 1 17 has been pulled up over the patient's feet.
Referring now to figures 5 and 6, the stretcher 102 is shown having a patient 200 therein with the drawstring 1 19 drawn so that the lower end of the stretcher 102 (the covering portion 1 17 and the lower end 106 of the patient carrying portion 104) forms a pocket 220 to retain the patient 200. This is effected by holding the toggle 1 18 and pulling the drawstring 1 19 therethrough. The toggle 1 18 serves to hold the drawstring 1 19 in the drawn configuration.
Referring to figure 7, there is shown a perspective view of a second embodiment of a field stretcher 202. In many ways, the embodiment shown in figure 7 is equivalent to the first embodiment as shown in figure 1 . In this regard, similar features are similarly referenced except that they begin with the numeral 2 rather than 1. For example, the handles 210 are equivalent to the handles 1 10 shown in figure 1 . The field stretcher 202 is different to the field stretcher 102 in that the slit 221 into which a mattress may be placed is situated at a lower region 206 of the stretcher 202. Further, the stretcher 202 comprises a further pair of handles 215 on a lower edge of the patient carrying portion 204.
A field stretcher made in accordance with the present invention allows a patient to be retained within a pocket 220 of the stretcher 102, 202 and thus when transported, for example by dragging via handles 1 10, 1 12, 1 14, 215 the patient is less likely to roll off the stretcher 102. Also, as discussed above, in the theatre of war, soldiers often sustain major injuries to their feet and legs and, in severe cases, the legs may be removed, such as by land mines, for example. In such a scenario, the elongate extent of the field stretcher of the present invention can be significantly reduced to accommodate a person in this condition securely. The stretcher has the further advantage that the handles are situated at the right positions with regard to the patient, because the length of the stretcher 102 is adjusted to suit the patient.
The stretcher is also provided with a dual skin patient carrying potion to thereby allow a thermal sleeping mat to be inserted and retained therein. This increases the comfort and stability of a patient, in use. Attention is directed to all papers and documents which are filed concurrently with or previous to this specification in connection with this application and which are open to public inspection with this specification, and the contents of all such papers and documents are incorporated herein by reference.
All of the features disclosed in this specification (including any accompanying claims, abstract and drawings), and/or all of the steps of any method or process so disclosed, may be combined in any combination, except combinations where at least some of such features and/or steps are mutually exclusive.
