Important Considerations when using
The Slix range of stretchers are 'Roll Up'
stretchers designed to be used in the most
extreme
conditions.
All Roll Up stretchers they are to a degree
flexible which gives the ability to evacuate
casualties from situations where rigid
stretchers would not be suitable or may not
even reach.
Users must be aware that Roll Up stretchers
do have limitations and training must take into
account the physical properties of Roll Up
stretchers.
JA&RE recommend that a spinal splint or a
spinal backboard is always used - even when
spinal injuries are not present or suspected - to

respiratory compromise when in transition from
the horizontal to the vertical mode and when

supporting each side is a very good
precaution.
It is possible to provide support by utilising the
shoulder level attachment
connecting to a haul line via a 'V' hang. This
will allow the haulers to lift the stretcher from
horizontal to vertical without undue bending of
the stretcher, compromising the casualty. Once
the stretcher is in the vertical mode, and clear
of the floor, the main head haul may be
utilised.
