Dealmed Medical Supplies announces the release of the Aluminum Foldable Scoop Stretcher to aid rescuers in lifting patients

Online, April 25, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Dealmed Medical Supplies, an online retailer of medical and EMS products, announced the release of the Dealmed Aluminum Foldable Scoop Stretcher. The scoop stretcher is a valuable piece of rescue equipment that allows operators to gently lift patients with minimal movement to the spine. When patients require spinal immobilization, lifting without rolling them minimizes the risk of further injury. Dealmed's high-quality, affordable Scoop Stretcher makes this product available to more rescuers than ever before.

The Dealmed Aluminum Foldable Scoop Stretcher is an innovative product that helps rescuers lift injured patients gently and easily instead of rolling them. The break-apart scoop stretcher can be opened at the either end, or both, and placed around the patient. Then the two sides of the stretcher are slid under the person, effectively scooping the patient up with a scissor-like motion. Limiting movement to the spine is essential in order to prevent further damage when a patient has a hip fracture or a spinal injury.

Carefully crafted features enhance the Dealmed Aluminum Foldable Scoop Stretcher and facilitate rescues. A lightweight aluminum frame makes the scoop stretcher easier to lift and maneuver, and three sturdy restraint straps keep the patient securely in place. Telescoping tubes enable the stretcher length to be adjusted to fit any patient. Patients can even be x-rayed while immobilized owing to the open center of the stretcher. After use, the lightweight aluminum scoop stretcher is easy to clean, and it folds up for easy storage.

Dealmed's exclusive line of high-performance, cost-effective EMS and medical products are designed to bring greater value to the health market. In addition to the Aluminum Foldable Scoop Stretcher, Dealmed's line of products includes an EMS stairchair, backboard, CPR board, rescue tube, and more.
