3.1 Scoop EXL Stretcher Series
Description
The Scoop EXL Stretcher (called the “stretcher” in
this manual) is a patient-handling device designed to
“scoop” patients from the ground or floor in confined
spaces, or when the patient needs to be moved with
little change of body position. The stretcher is for
professional use by a minimum of two trained operators.
The stretcher series comprises three models: Scoop
EXL Stretcher; Scoop EXL Stretcher with Pins; and
Scoop EXL Mortuary Stretcher. Operation of all
stretcher models is identical. The type of patient
restraints selected or supplied varies.
All three models of the stretcher are constructed in two
halves that uncouple to slide under the patient or body,
then re-couple for lifting. The stretcher may also be
uncoupled at only the foot end and opened into a “V”
configuration to “scoop” the patient or body. Other
features are:
Improper use of the stretcher can cause
injury. Use the stretcher only for the purpose
described in this manual.
