Flight Stretchers

Air Ambulance Stretchers Services

The Airline Passenger Transfer Stretcher is a simple way to transport passengers who require additional medical attention due to an injury, illness, or other condition. For those who are unable to sit up straight and have to lay down for the duration of the flight, including landing and takeoff, due to injury, illness, or any other issue, in that scenario, FAA-approved aeroplane stretchers are an excellent choice. In these situations, the airline will arrange for the removal of a block of seats from the plane so that a stretcher for the patient and the necessary medical supplies can be installed in their place. Patients will be able to lie down during the flight.

The stretcher is used in the airport terminal and can be fitted with a raised sidebar and handrail for those who are ambulatory. When the stretcher is not in use, it folds flat and wheels into the aircraft’s cargo hold. The airline passenger transfer stretchers can be used with or without a seat belt restrainer (to improve comfort) or restraint straps that attach to either the armrests on the seat or the footrests on the seat (to provide stability). The stretcher easily fits into the cabin aisle when not in use Air Ambulance Stretchers Services

1. Protection of Patient Privacy

To protect the patient from other passengers and provide them with privacy, the stretcher is additionally divided by a curtain. A medical team always travel with the patient to monitor their health and make sure they receive continuous care throughout the flight. Additionally, it makes it simple for friends or relatives to travel with the patient and be by their side.

2. Affordable vs. Air Ambulance

The longer the journey, the more money can be saved by using a flying stretcher, which can save patients and their families tens of thousands of dollars compared to using an Air Ambulance, which is solely chartered for the patient and their family.
