Portable stretchers are devices designed for transporting patients from emergency sites not readily accessible for standard ambulance stretchers, constructed to be lightweight, simple in operation and easily transported by one or two persons. They are used in rescue situations including mountain or marine rescue and difficult indoor environments such as narrow corridors or extremely steep stairways.
