inTRoducTion: Saviour Technical Stretcher
The Saviour Technical Stretcher is a rapid response stretcher
to evacuate casualties safely from hazardous areas. Provision
is made for up to six persons carrying and two Head Haul
Eyelets which can be used in conjunction with the lifting
harness or drag straps, for vertical lifting and lowering, as
well as dragging or hauling along evacuation routes. The
Saviour Technical may also be lifted horizontally using a
suitable lifting strop arrangement. The Saviour Technical
may be placed directly into a suitable basket stretcher for
onward patient transportation if required. Users must be
trained and competent in accepted standards and rescue
procedures.
The Saviour Technical may be used to transport the casualty
throughout the treatment journey, into the A&E and
onwards, as it is x-ray translucent and CT friendly. Study has
also shown that during the treatment journey the Saviour
Technical stretcher performs as an effective pelvic splint
when tightened fully.
Manufactured from materials suitable for harsh
environments the Saviour Technical will not deteriorate
during storage but should not be subjected to prolonged
exposure (weeks not hours) to strong sunlight. Subject to
the recommended inspection and cleaning the Saviour
Technical’s skin and fixings will have a 10 year service life.
Straps have a service life of 5 years and may be replaced
by the user or returned to the manufacturer/distributor for
refurbishment.
The contents of this manual should be read and
fully understood before use.
Incorrect use will reduce the
service life of the stretcher
and may endanger the casualty.
