Basket stretchers, also known as rescue stretchers, are designed for transporting patients in challenging and remote environments. These stretchers are typically made from durable materials such as aluminum or plastic and are equipped with secure harnesses to keep the patient safe during transport. Basket stretchers are commonly used in search and rescue operations, as well as by emergency medical services (EMS), providing a reliable means of patient transport in difficult terrain. Their rugged design and portability make them an essential tool for rescuers and healthcare professionals in emergency situations.
