Product Introduction

 

Originally developed for complex maritime rescue missions, the Neil Robertson Stretcher has evolved into a universal rescue tool for global emergency response teams. Different from rigid stretchers, it adopts a flexible semi-rigid structure, combining high-toughness fabric and reinforced support slats to balance flexibility and structural stability. Equipped with multi-point restraint straps, anti-slip carrying handles, and dedicated lifting accessories, the Neil Robertson Stretcher can fully wrap and fix the casualty's head, torso, and limbs, effectively eliminating body displacement during rescue and transportation.

The whole device is foldable with a compact storage size, requiring minimal space for storage and carrying. It adapts to extreme rescue postures including horizontal dragging, vertical hoisting, and slope sliding, and is compatible with various rescue equipment such as lifting cranes, safety ropes, and rescue baskets. With excellent durability and environmental adaptability, it can work stably in high humidity, corrosion, and rough surface environments, meeting lon

Product feature

 

Superior Safety & Immobilization Performance

Adopts a full wraparound mummy-style fixing structure with 5 high-tensile buckle straps, which can tightly fix the casualty's head, upper abdomen, and legs. It achieves nearly zero body displacement during rescue, effectively preventing secondary injuries caused by shaking, sliding or twisting. The independent head support strap ensures stable fixation of the cervical spine, providing professional protection for injured personnel with spine or limb injuries.

 

Flexible & Multi-Scenario Operation

Different from rigid stretchers, the semi-rigid structure can be freely bent and folded, perfectly adapting to narrow doorways, hatches, tunnel passages and other spaces that cannot pass conventional stretchers. It supports multiple rescue modes including horizontal manual carrying, vertical crane lifting, low-altitude lowering, and slope dragging..

 

Lightweight & Easy Storage

The light weight is easy for single or multiple rescuers to carry and operate. It can be quickly folded into a compact size after use, occupying extremely small storage space, convenient for placement in rescue vehicles, ship cabins, and emergency equipment warehouses.

 

Medical Compatibility

The stretcher material is X-ray translucent and compatible with medical imaging equipment. Casualties can directly complete X-ray examination on the stretcher without secondary handling, avoiding secondary damage to injured parts and improving rescue efficiency.

 

Application

 

Marine & Offshore Rescue

It is the standard matching equipment for ships, offshore oil platforms, and marine rescue teams. It is used for evacuating injured personnel from narrow ship cabins, engine rooms, and small hatches, and supporting vertical lifting rescue of overboard or injured offshore workers.

 

Industrial & Construction Rescue

Suitable for emergency rescue in factories, construction sites, tunnel engineering, and pipeline operations. It solves the problem of difficult evacuation of injured personnel in narrow construction passages, closed equipment workshops, and underground confined spaces.

 

Mining & Underground Rescue

Adapted to narrow mine tunnels and underground working faces, it can safely transfer injured miners in complex underground environments, adapting to low-space and irregular rescue passages.

 

Fire Emergency Rescue

Used by fire fighting, and emergency response teams for casualty evacuation in collapsed buildings, narrow ruins, and special combat environments. It supports rapid deployment and flexible transportation in complex disaster scenes.

 

Professional Medical Emergency Transfer

Cooperates with first aid teams for fixed transfer of patients with spine, limb and trauma injuries in special spaces, ensuring standardized and safe pre-hospital rescue operations.

 

Product Details

 

Structural Design Details
The stretcher adopts a segmented spliced support slat structure, which ensures overall rigidity during bearing and flexible bending during folding. The whole body is sewn with high-strength industrial thread, with tight and firm stitching, avoiding cracking after long-term use. The integrated wrapping design covers the whole body of the human body, with no dead angle for protection.

 

Accessory Functional Details
Four ergonomic non-slip handles with protective sleeves effectively reduce hand pressure and prevent slipping during carrying. The head independent fixing strap can limit the left-right swing and forward-backward displacement of the head. The high-strength lifting strap has strong bearing capacity and is not easy to deform, matching various professional lifting equipment. The foot-end guide rope assists rescuers in controlling the posture and direction of the stretcher during vertical lifting to avoid rotation and shaking.

 

Process & Material Details
The outer layer is made of thickened waterproof and tear-resistant Oxford cloth, which is resistant to pulling and abrasion. The internal support slats are treated with anti-corrosion and anti-deformation technology, with stable bearing performance. The restraint buckles are made of high-toughness engineering plastics, which are resistant to breakage and aging, and can be quickly locked and unlocked to improve rescue efficiency.

The adjustable restraint straps can adapt to body widths up to 750mm, covering most crowd sizes. It is applicable for personnel height within 190cm, meeting the rescue needs of most scenarios.

Q: Can the stretcher be used for vertical high-altitude lifting rescue?

A: Yes. This is the core advantage of the Neil Robertson Stretcher. It is specially designed for vertical lifting and lowering operations in confined spaces. After full wrapping and fixing, it can ensure the casualty's body is stable without tipping or sliding during vertical rescue.

Q: Is the product waterproof and suitable for marine humid environment?

A: Absolutely. The outer fabric is waterproof, seawater-corrosion resistant and decay-resistant, and the internal support structure is treated with anti-rust and anti-corrosion technology. It can work stably for a long time in marine high-humidity and salt-spray environments, and is the standard equipment for marine rescue.

Q: Is it easy to learn the operation? How many rescuers are needed?

A: The operation is simple and efficient. After simple professional training, rescuers can complete wrapping, fixing and carrying operations proficiently. Daily horizontal carrying requires 4 rescuers, and vertical lifting can be completed by matching professional lifting equipment with 2–3 operators, with fast rescue speed and high safety factor.
