Product Overview and Key Features

The YXH-1A6E Folding Stretcher offers a balanced combination of strength, mobility, and compactness. Built from high-strength aluminum alloy frames with precision hinge mechanisms, the folding stretcher provides exceptional load capacity while maintaining a lightweight profile. The stretcher’s ergonomically contoured surface and reinforced fabric bed deliver patient comfort without compromising safety. Integral locking systems ensure that when the folding stretcher is deployed, the frame remains rigid and secure throughout transport.

Applications and Use Cases

The versatility of the YXH-1A6E Folding Stretcher makes it suitable for a wide variety of emergency and medical applications. As part of emergency medical equipment kits, the folding stretcher serves front-line responders during vehicle extrications, mountain and wilderness rescues, and mass casualty incidents. Hospitals and clinics use the folding stretcher to move patients between departments safely, especially when elevator access is limited or rapid lateral transfers are required.

Innovations and Design Advantages

The YXH-1A6E represents a next-generation folding stretcher concept through a series of deliberate design innovations. The hinge-and-lock system features precision-machined components that reduce wear and ensure consistent deployment over thousands of cycles. This longevity translates to lower total cost of ownership for organizations that rely heavily on their emergency medical equipment.

Technical Specifications and Performance

At the core of the YXH-1A6E Folding Stretcher is a robust aluminum alloy frame engineered for high tensile strength and low weight. The stretcher supports industry-standard load capacities suitable for a vast majority of adult patients while meeting or exceeding regulatory expectations for emergency medical equipment.

Description

This spine board with safety belts is made of HDPE material with no discharge contaminator, and firmness to wear This plastic spine board also can be used as a floatable device

The structure is allowed X-rays because it's completely translucent.

It is compatible with most head immobilization devices and strap mechanisms

It is mainly used for hospitals, sports, ambulance and outdoors to carry patients and wounded person.

The Xiehe Medical YXH-1A6K is an innovatively designed detachable spine board consisting of a large board and a small board, accommodating spinal immobilization and transport needs for both adult and pediatric patients. The large board measures 183×45×5.5 cm with a net weight of 8 kg; the small board measures 119×32×5 cm with a net weight of just 3 kg. The small board can be separated from the large board for independent use, or securely connected via dedicated interfaces to form a single integrated board. Manufactured from high-strength high-density polyethylene (HDPE) through a single-piece molding process, the YXH-1A6K is completely radiolucent, allowing patients to undergo imaging examinations without being removed from the board—effectively preventing the risk of secondary spinal injury from unnecessary movement. Additionally, the board can serve as a floatation device, providing extra safety assurance for water rescue scenarios. Compatible with most head immobilizers and strap systems on the market, it is widely used in hospital emergency departments, pre-hospital emergency care, pediatric emergency, sports medicine, and outdoor rescue operations.

The YXH-1A6K is manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) through a single-piece molding process, offering excellent rigidity, impact resistance, and lightweight characteristics. The large board weighs 8 kg while the small board weighs only 3 kg, ensuring structural strength while remaining easy for emergency personnel to carry and operate.

HDPE material is non-toxic, odorless, and releases no contaminants—safe for human contact. The smooth, non-porous surface does not absorb liquids and withstands repeated cleaning with various disinfectants, meeting medical hygiene standards. The material maintains stable physical properties across a temperature range of -20°C to +60°C, adapting to diverse climate conditions.

Core Functional Features

Detachable Combination Design

The core innovation of the YXH-1A6K lies in its detachable combination design. The large and small boards are securely connected through dedicated interfaces—when combined, they function as a standard adult spine board; when needed, the small board can be quickly detached for independent use as a pediatric spine board. This design eliminates the need for emergency personnel to carry two separate boards of different sizes—a single device covers transport needs for both adult and pediatric patients, effectively reducing equipment burden and improving response efficiency.

Radiolucent Property

The YXH-1A6K is made from fully radiolucent material, allowing patients to undergo X-ray, CT, and MRI examinations while remaining secured on the board—eliminating the need for removal and the associated risk of secondary injury to spinal trauma patients.

Floatable Design

The YXH-1A6K is floatable and can serve as a water rescue device, providing additional safety assurance in drowning rescues, flood disasters, and水上 operations.

Head Immobilization Compatibility

The YXH-1A6K is compatible with the vast majority of head immobilizers on the market. Standard mounting holes and adapter interfaces enable quick, secure, and reliable head immobilizer installation.

Handle Design

The board features multiple molded-in handles on both sides, facilitating coordinated lifting by 2 to 4 emergency personnel. The handle positions are optimized to maintain natural lifting postures, reducing the risk of back injuries.

Practical Value of the Detachable Design

In pre-hospital emergency care, ambulance storage space is limited, and carrying multiple spine boards of different sizes consumes significant space. The YXH-1A6K combination design addresses this challenge: stored as a combined large+small board to save space; used as a single unit for adult patients, or separated for pediatric patients when needed. Once detached, the small board is not only compact and lightweight at just 3 kg, but also ideal for operation in confined spaces such as stairwells of older residential buildings or inside damaged vehicles. Its 119×32 cm dimensions are also well-suited for spinal immobilization of infants and young children.

Applications

Pre-Hospital Emergency & Ambulance Services: Combined storage saves vehicle space—separation provides flexible response for both adult and pediatric patients.

Hospital Emergency Departments & Trauma Centers: Large board suitable for adult spinal trauma immobilization, small board for pediatric patients—one system covers all ages.

Pediatric Emergency & Children‘s Hospitals: Small board can be used independently for pediatric spinal immobilization and transport.

Sports Medicine & Athletic Events: Suitable for spinal injury management for both adult and adolescent athletes.

Water Rescue & Flood Disasters: Floatable design suitable for drowning rescues and水上 transport.

Outdoor Rescue & Field Operations: Detachable design allows flexible selection based on actual patient conditions.
