Description

 The invention relates to medical equipment, namely to a disposable sanitary stretcher, and can find application in difficult situations, field conditions, in emergency situations, natural disasters to immobilize victims with injuries of any complexity.

 Known sanitary stretchers, consisting of load-bearing bars with fixed plates for the head and trunk and two retractable bars with plates for the legs. In the crossbars fixed crossbeams with a locking device and a clamp. The crossbar is made in the form of an inner pipe with a flat, on which a cross member with a locking device and a sliding handle is also fixedly fixed. (RF patent 2119320, A 61 C 1/003, 03/01/96).

 Known sanitary stretchers allow transporting the victim from high-rise buildings, mines, and in emergency situations from hard-to-reach places. However, these designs are quite complex, cannot be compactly stacked, significant in price, and cannot be used as single-use stretchers.

 Known sanitary stretchers for evacuation of the victim by lifting or sliding, without using a mattress, which contain a flat rigid base having a length and width greater than the length and width of the victim lying on his back; the base has an upper surface on which the victim lies, and a lower surface adapted to slide along the plane, as well as a cushioning layer covering the upper surface of the specified base and having sufficient thickness to soften the position of the victim during evacuation. The stretchers have means for providing free fixation of the injured person, handles fixed at one end of the base and designed to move the stretcher with a drag, as well as handles fixed on both sides of the base and designed to raise the stretcher. In addition, the stretchers are equipped with a solid head part and a solid footrest pivotally attached to the base from opposite sides. When using the device, when the victim is placed on a stretcher, the bottom surface of the base has a solid flat friction surface, larger in size than the length and width of the victim lying on his back. (Canadian Patent 2,037,652, A 61 G 1/00 06/28/94).

 This technical solution is the closest to the claimed and taken as a prototype.

 The advantage of the claimed stretchers in relation to the well-known lies in the simplicity of their manufacture, transportation, putting into operation and release of the injured from them, as well as low cost.

 Almost all known stretchers contain a significant number of parts of complex configuration, and therefore are more laborious in the manufacture and cost of all parts, which leads to a significant price, in addition, these stretchers are usually quite complicated in the process of disposal, which reduces the possibility of their use as single use stretcher.

 The invention solves the problem of creating a disposable sanitary stretcher, which is very important when solving problems in emergency situations, when the collection, transfer, disinfection and other operations with stretchers are of a certain complexity and additional material costs. In addition, the problem is solved of the possibility of transporting large quantities of stretchers in an assembled state and at the same time of sufficient convenience for evacuating victims with injuries of any complexity.

 To solve this problem, the claimed disposable sanitary stretchers, containing a rigid base having a length and width greater than the length and width of the victim lying on their backs, the head part, fixed on the basis of the means, providing the fixation of the victim on a stretcher, and handles designed to lift a stretcher, in which it is proposed according to the present invention, the base to be made in the form of a cone, tapering to the legs, and to make it from a flat hydrophobic material, the head part made in those with a base, additionally provide means for fixing the victim’s head, as means for fixing the victim, use straps made of tape fixed with locks, which are two separate plates with two slots, fasten all the straps to the stretcher by winding the straps on the latch, followed by passing the strap into the grooves located on the base, and the handles should be made in the form of a fabric loop with a twisted tube dressed on it.

 According to the invention, the base is equipped with stiffeners obtained by double bending and pre-pressing the side surfaces of the base. Fixation of the victim is carried out in accordance with his constitution with at least seven transverse and two longitudinally transverse straps. To fix the victim’s head, foam pads and at least two pairs of straps are used to fix the victim’s forehead and lower jaw. Locking locks for straps, clips and twisted tubes for handles are made of hydrophobic material. All straps are made of water-repellent tape.

 The implementation of the base in the form of a cone, tapering to the legs, together with the head part and made of hydrophobic material, provides reliability and rigidity of the structure.

 The manufacture of the base with stiffeners by the double bending method with prepressing the side surfaces of the stretcher increases the rigidity of the structure at a fairly low cost.

Fixation of the victim is carried out using at least seven transverse and two longitudinally transverse straps, provides reliability and rigidity of the structure and at the same time reliability of the victim’s fastening, eliminating the possibility of slipping when carrying in a stretcher at an angle of up to 45 ^o relative to the ground plane.

 Fixing the victim’s head with foam pads, at least two pairs of straps and bending the head of the stretcher allows it to be more convenient to fix the victim and eliminate distortions of the body.

 The manufacture of strap locks from two separate plates with two slots in each, through which the straps are passed, allows you to quickly create the necessary conditions for fixing the straps in the required position.

 The fastening of all the straps to the stretcher is carried out by winding on the clamps and passing them into the grooves located on the basis of the stretcher. This mounting design allows you to quickly release the victim by removing the latch, after which the straps are disconnected from the stretcher.

 Stretchers and all additional details, such as locks for straps, clips, etc., are made of water-repellent (impregnated with a special composition) material, which leads to ease of manufacture and low cost with high strength characteristics. Impregnation with a special water-repellent composition of all the straps gives them additional rigidity and improves their work in the locks.

 In the design of the stretcher there is not a single traditionally used element of fastening and connection: threaded, riveted, welded, adhesive, etc.

 When carrying spinal patients and the need to create additional rigidity of the head of the stretcher, console fixation of the front of the stretcher is provided with one pair of straps designed to fix the head.

 The stretcher can be transported folded by one person on the back using standard longitudinally-transverse straps, which are used as shoulder straps for carrying the stretcher.

 The invention is illustrated by drawings. Figure 1 shows a drawing of a stretcher. Figure 2 shows the option of attaching the straps with latches, figure 3 shows the option of attaching the straps to the base.

 Disposable sanitary stretchers contain a base 1 and a head 2 with fold lines 3 for carrying and transporting the stretcher and slots 4 for fastening the straps 5, which are fixed by locks 6 and are attached to the base by means of latches 7 (Fig. 3), as well as handles 8, representing a twisted tube of hydrophobic cardboard 8, worn on a loop 9 of hydrophobic woven tape. The head part is equipped with two pads 10 of foam.

 In FIG. 2 shows the option of attaching the straps 5 to the clips 6 by passing the straps 5 through the slots 11 in the clips 6.

 In FIG. 3 shows the option of fastening the straps 5 and handles 8 by winding the tape onto the clips 7 and passing them through the slots 4 in the body of the base 1.

 With a stretcher work as follows. Remove the stretcher from the packaging. Fold the stretcher along the fold lines 3. Remove the ends of the straps 6 from the locks 5. Lay the victim on the stretcher. Pre-tighten the straps 5, starting from the chest to the legs in sequence. Secure the victim’s head on the sides with two foam pads 10 and two straps 5 on the forehead and under the lower jaw.

 After performing the above operations, the victim is ready for transportation.

 A stretcher is transported with the affected person 6 people. For this purpose, six handles 8 are installed on the stretcher.

 The victim is freed from the stretcher by pulling the clips 7 from the wound strap.

 Disposable sanitary stretchers can be used in difficult situations, field conditions, natural disasters to immobilize victims with injuries of any complexity. When solving problems in emergency situations, when the collection, transfer, disinfection and other operations with stretchers are of certain complexity and additional material costs, it is very important to have a cheap, light and clean stretcher. In addition, it is possible to transport large quantities of stretchers in an assembled state with sufficient convenience for evacuating victims with injuries of any complexity.
