Plastic Scoop Stretcher

A plastic scoop stretcher is a medical device used to immobilize and transport a patient who may have a spinal or pelvic injury. The stretcher consists of two separate, interlocking halves that can be gently separated down the middle to create a scoop-like structure. The patient is carefully placed onto the stretcher and the two halves are then brought back together, securely locking the patient into place.

The scoop stretcher is designed to minimize movement of the patient’s spine and pelvis during transport, which can help prevent further injury. Its plastic construction makes it lightweight and easy to clean, and it is often used in situations where metal stretchers may interfere with medical imaging equipment.

Overall, the purpose of a plastic scoop stretcher is to provide a safe and effective means of immobilizing and transporting patients with suspected spinal or pelvic injuries.
