17 April 2008 11:51
Shoshana Metal,the Israeli leading manufacturer of folding stretchers, has won a tender by the Israeli Defense Ministry to supply a total of 4,500 Foldable Iron Cots to the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
The Foldable Iron Cot is significantly stronger and more durable. It is highly recommended for military use. While the standard aluminum cot can last only months in a harsh military environment, the iron cot can last years.
Shoshana Metal develops, manufactures and markets the EMSCompact Stretcher our flagship state-of-the-art eight-fold stretcher, which is the lightest, most compact and flexible stretcher available in the EMS market today. The EMSCompact Stretcher weighs only 5.0kg (11lbs) and it folds into an amazingly small 50cm (19.7in) in height, so that it slips neatly into its matching backpack case.
Our exclusive line of stretchers also includes the following models:
CBRN EMSCOMPACT STRETCHER FOR CBRN RESCUE OPERATIONS
The CBRN EMSCompact stretcher was developed to meet the specific operational requirements of the CBRN threat, which has become even more relevant in the recent decade, showing the world how crucial it is to be well equipped and prepared in order to respond quickly and safely to CBRN attacks to ensure minimal casualties.
The features of the CBRN EMSCompact stretcher are based on technical specifications received from the US Military. Intensive worldwide market research has yielded the best chemical resistant mesh fabric suitable, whose advantages include a superb chemical resistance for decontamination when exposed to industrial chemicals and CBRN warfare agents; excellent melting point at 633ºF; and a very good abrasion resistance.
EMSCOMPACT STRETCHER ON WHEELS – FOR MASS CASUALTIES EVENTS
The IDF (Israel Defence Forces) presented Shoshana-Metal with the problem of evacuating patients in a mass casualty event, when the lack of sufficient manpower is one of the biggest concerns. Thus, the need for a stretcher that can be carried by one person only is crucial.
The EMSCompact Stretcher on Wheels not only addresses the above problem, but also provides a solution to the challenge created by stretchers with wheels: How does one ensure a safe and smooth carrying of the injured patient, who is obviously in a lot of pain, especially when it comes to stairs?
The Unique Device of the EMSCompact Stretcher on Wheels is composed of wheels and a special sliding part, whose special mechanism enables a smooth descending and mounting in stairs without any bumps transmitted to the patient.
