Definitions

  • the present invention refers to the technical field concerning the medical devices used in the first aid emergency situations for immobilising and carrying generally traumatised patients.
  • this invention refers to a so-called "scoop stretcher" and to the method for its realisation.
  • the scoop stretchers are special types of stretchers with which it is possible to "pickup" a patient from the ground avoiding the risk of causing him more serious trauma.
  • the known scoop stretchers are essentially constituted by two opposite halves, detachably connectable close to the ends by means of articulated hook devices.
  • Each of these half-stretchers comprises an upper portion and a lower portion with reference to the patient body to be supported.
  • the upper portion includes a metallic tubular member mounting scoop shaped supporting panels, fit to pick up and support the traumatised patient in correspondence of his head and upper body.
  • the lower portion includes a tubular member with an end sliding into the metallic tubular member of the upper portion and to which is fixed a support scoop shaped panel fit to support the patient legs.
  • connection means complementarily connectable to each other and designed to be connected for establishing the linkage between the two halves and thus forming the scoop stretcher.
  • the stretcher surface defined by the picking and supporting panels, is concave in such a way to keep the patient inside and to reduce his lateral movements.
  • Such stretcher has an adjustable length so as to be adapted to the patient height. Furthermore, the lower portion can be folded onto the upper portion by means of foldable hinge elements fixed to the sliding end of the tubular members of the lower portion, in order to decrease the stretcher dimension when not in use.
  • a drawback of such stretchers is that they are made of metal, especially aluminium, having the main feature of being light but not always resistant enough in order to support different stresses and shocks supported by a stretcher that can consequentially be deformed.
  • such stretcher may have several panels divided from each other by empty space for sustaining the patient so using less material and without making heavy too much the stretcher: in this solution the patient dresses could get caught.
  • tubular members and the supporting panels of the stretcher are generally made of metal, preferably aluminium, and they need to be assembled and/or riveted, sometimes manually, so increasing the stretcher production costs.
  • the main object of the present invention is to propose a light stretcher fit to support almost completely the patient body parts.
  • Another object is to propose a method for easily carrying out a scoop stretcher.
  • Another object is to propose a method of carrying out a scoop stretcher in which only two elements for each opposite halves are moulded and assembled together.
  • Still another object is to propose a compact stretcher with dirty, dust and organic liquid infiltration reduction and therefore allowing a simple cleaning and sterilisation of the stretcher after every use.

  • Each upper support element 4, 5 is internally provided with a hollow bar, respectively 6 and 7.
  • the upper tubular elements 2s, 3s have an end, respectively 14s and 15s, close to an upper sleeve, respectively 12s and 13s, making a single block with the related support element, respectively 4 and 5, while the other ends extend up to the end portion of the related support elements 4, 5 and help to support, in co-operation with these latter, locking and adjusting means 22, 23 of the length of the stretcher 10.

  • the tubular elements 2i, 3i are telescopically sliding inside the respective hollow bar 6, 7 and they have each other end, respectively 14i and 15i, located close to a sleeve, respectively 12i and 13i, in single block with related support element 8, 9.
  • the other ends of the sleeves 12i, 13i are fastened to the ends, respectively 18 and 19, of a hook device li which allows to hook detachably the lower parts 20i and 30i of the half-stretchers 20 and 30 so as to make the lower part 50 of the stretcher 10.
