The MIBS Stretcher is designed for recovery of casualties, especially those with Spinal Injuries, from difficult locations. The stretcher is built with restaining straps to hold the casualty in place, a head restraint, shoulder restraint, and foot trap. Lifting handles are positioned on each side of the stretcher, it is also fitted with a strop which will facilitate helicopter lifting if required. When correctly fitted into the stretcher a casualty is held in an immobile position in a relatively soft tube, the casualty may then be lifted, turned, and generally man-handled in the course of the recovery with only a minimal likelihood of aggravating any injury.
