Guest guest Posted August 12, 2002 Report Share Posted August 12, 2002 Nigel, You are definitely keeping me busy this morning !! Here is an answer to your stretcher query. Rene De Jongh is our senior Medivac specialist based in Moscow. The reply is probably what you expected but at least it gives you food for thought. Best Wishes Ian Stretches Picking brains time again... Has anybody got definitive answers on what type of stretchers to use in aircraft? I appreciate that different aircraft/companies/countries may well have their own ideas, but has their been any good research. The aircraft I have available for my Medevacs are either a Twin otter or a Beech 1100D Regards to all, Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2002 Report Share Posted August 12, 2002 For dedicated casevac/medevac aircraft, can definitely recommend the Lifeport, used very successfully in Zim. The usual prob is medical use of a non-dedicated platform - have found the main limitation to be the doors/steps, rather than the stretcher!!

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 I'm posting this on the tortkids group, too. Does anyone with a tort baby and a band or helmet cheat with the stretching and not take the helmet off? I have found it makes a great handhold and the little booger can't escape my evil clutches as easily. Do you know if this affects his head or neck or anything? I've had great success with stretching lately and don't take the helmet off for stretching. The PT from CT told me to take it off, though. Thanks for any info, , 18 mos, DOC Band 5/7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
