Retractable stretcher
Retractable stretcher for rapid rescue.
How does it work?
This Rapid Rescue can be stored in a space as narrow as 120 mm in depth, and therefore can be located in most corridors. The stretcher looks heavy at a glance; however, it does not have much weight. There is no trouble in carrying a big person on this item. This is a high-purpose design in many ways, in terms of rescuing and interior design.
Why is it needed?
In places without enough space in corridors, stretchers are often stored in storage or other closed spaces. Consequently, there are many cases where immediate action cannot be taken.
How does it improve life?
We can save peoples life because it would be possible to respond quickly when necessary.
