Scoop Stretcher YDC-4A (Aluminium)

The Red Leaf YDC-4A Adjustable & Separable Scoop Stretcher is a rigid medical device used to transport patients, especially those with fractures or spinal injuries. The stretcher is designed to scoop a patient up without having to roll or move them significantly, which reduces the risk of causing further harm. 

Features and construction

• Separable structure: The stretcher features clutch devices at both ends that separate the stretcher into two parts. This allows rescuers to place the two halves under the patient from opposite sides and then join them together.
• Patient immobilization: Once joined, the rigid structure of the stretcher helps to immobilize the patient during transport.
• Adjustable length: The stretcher's length can be adjusted to three different positions to accommodate patients of varying heights.
• Material: The YDC-4A is made from high-strength aluminum alloy. Some listings mention a combined construction with HDPE for newer or specific variants.
• Foot-end design: The foot-end of the stretcher has a narrow frame structure.
• Included accessories: The stretcher comes equipped with three safety belts to secure the patient.
• Compatibility: It can be used in conjunction with a head immobilizer (optional). 

• Safe for fractures: The design is specifically intended to transport patients with fractures and serious injuries while minimizing further movement.
• Quick and easy patient handling: The scoop mechanism allows for the quick and easy loading or unloading of a patient without the need to log-roll them, which is critical for minimizing movement of the spine.
• Versatile application: The YDC-4A is suitable for use in hospitals, ambulances, sports facilities, and emergency rescue situations. 

• Unfolded size: 200 x 42 x 7 cm
