  • An Improved Casualty Movement

    The MediEase stretcher system consists of a light portable stretcher and a medical carrying vest. The design aims to cope with hard to access locations or disaster situations through an improved casualty movement: increased mobility, better well-being, less fatigue, and availability of fast medical supplies.

  • The MediEase stretcher system allows an increased well-being for rescue personnel by allowing ease of support during the casualty movement process. It distributes the weight of the casualty for the rescuers, allowing a fast and efficient rescue.The safety factor is higher and allows a hands-free operation when encountering difficult terrain.There are also extensible handles to allow easier carrying over longer periods.
  • The MediEase stretcher has a modular system that allows both rigid and flexible support to be used and thus caters to the different needs of a casualty. The system is stackable and allows many stretchers to be stacked together for efficient storage and transportation.
  • The MediEase carrying vest provides mobile and immediate access to first aid in times of a mass-casualty event. The MediEase stretcher also comes with soft protective sides to ensure the physical well-being of the casualties and a heightened feeling of security during transportation.
