Stretcher Steps
In emergency situations, patients are frequently transported on stretchers from a scene to hospitals or medical facilities. While stretchers are optimized for mobility and efficient transfer from EMS vehicles, they are not designed to support critical medical interventions—such as CPR or advanced life support—during transit or within hospital corridors.
Stretcher Steps is an innovative, life-saving device designed to bridge this gap. It empowers emergency responders and medical personnel to access and treat patients more effectively during transport, especially when every second counts.
Key Features:
- Standing Platform: A stable, elevated surface that enables healthcare providers to perform life-saving procedures—such as CPR, airway management, or care for ventilated patients—while in motion. It is especially valuable during transfers between hospital departments, such as from the emergency department to the ICU or operating rooms.
- Hinge Assembly: Allows the platform to be easily deployed when needed and folded towards the stretcher for storage, preserving the stretcher’s mobility and function without taking up unnecessary space.
- Locking Mechanism: Secures the platform in place during use, ensuring user safety and stability without impeding the stretcher’s standard operation.
Now officially patented in both the U.S. and Canada, Stretcher Steps represents a protected innovation—available for licensing opportunities aimed at advancing patient care and emergency response.
