What is a "stretcher"?
A stretcher is a crucial medical device used for transporting individuals who are unable to walk, whether due to illness, injury, or death, without causing discomfort or further harm. It typically has a flat surface supported by legs or wheels, allowing for easy movement within medical facilities or during emergencies. Traditional stretchers have two poles and a long piece of cloth, widely used for basic patient transport. They ensure safe and efficient transport, providing support and comfort during movement and examination.
