First Responder Protection Stretchers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Milpod Stretcher Helps to Safely Extract Casualties

— September 25, 2018 — Lifestyle
The Milpod Stretcher has been designed by Joseph Lincoln for use as part of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) defense when extracting casualties from a region. Featuring transparent plastic that is sheathed over the top portion, the stretcher can be seamlessly accessed via integrated gloves for administering treatment or making adjustments. The inflatable design of the frame enables it to maintain a low weight level, while the see-through top portion helps first responders maintain optimal nightlines on the patient and to keep them connected with what's happening as well.

The Milpod Stretcher addresses the need for more CBRN equipment as many regions grow to require such items in the event of warfare or unexpected breaches related to industry and beyond.
Trend Themes
1. CBRN Defense Equipment - The increasing demand for CBRN defense equipment presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to develop advanced and efficient tools and technologies for extracting and treating casualties.
2. Transparent Protective Gear - The use of transparent plastic sheathing in protective gear provides a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to improve visibility and maintain optimal nightlines for first responders during emergency situations.
3. Inflatable Design - The development of inflatable designs for stretchers creates a disruptive innovation opportunity for companies to produce lightweight and portable equipment for quick and efficient extraction of casualties.
Industry Implications
