Scoop Stretcher Uses
- Road accidents and falls where you suspect spinal, hip or pelvic injury
- Lifting a patient from the floor or a tight space onto an ambulance stretcher
- Moving an unconscious patient with fewer handlers
- Transfers between the ambulance stretcher and the hospital bed
For the journey itself, many services move the patient onto a spine board with head immobilizer, which keeps the head and neck still. Follow your service’s spinal care protocol.
How to Use a Scoop Stretcher
- Set the length to the patient’s height and lock it.
- Open the clutches at both ends to split the stretcher into left and right halves.
- Slide each half under the patient from the side. The extra-low profile lets it go under without lifting the body.
- Join the halves at the head and foot, check both clutches are locked, and fasten the three belts.
- Lift and move the patient.

FAQs
What is a scoop stretcher used for?
It lifts an injured patient without rolling them. The two halves slide under the patient from each side and lock together, which reduces movement of the spine and pelvis.
What is the scoop stretcher price at Esleh?
₹14,599 per unit. Hospitals, NGOs and ambulance operators ordering in bulk get manufacturer discounts.
Is a scoop stretcher the same as a spine board?
No. The scoop stretcher lifts the patient off the ground. A spine board keeps the patient flat and still during transport. Many teams use the scoop first, then shift the patient to a spine board.
How much weight can the scoop stretcher carry?
Up to 160 kg. The stretcher itself weighs 8 kg.
Does it fold?
Yes. It folds from 214 cm down to 167 cm, so it fits in an ambulance storage rack.
