Rapid Rescue

Rapid Rescue is a type of emergency stretcher that makes patient transport much easier and faster. Because of its lightweight design, it can be easily lifted and carried. Patients can also be transported upright, allowing them to fit through narrow corridors and elevators. The stretcher, which is equipped with a triangular planetary wheel, can be quickly wheeled down flights of stairs and around tight turns in stairwells. A built-in shock absorber reduces vibration and protects against secondary injury. Most stairwells in residential buildings are very narrow, particularly in older buildings, and passenger elevators tend to have limited space. This complicates the transport of patients on stretchers in emergency situations. Rapid Rescue’s improved design addresses the challenges associated with transporting a stretcher through tight spaces. Red Dot Award: Design Concept | Concept | Life Science
