Shield and transport apparatus includes a pair of panels secured together which may by used as a shield while a person or persons are advancing towards a combative person in which may be partially wrapped around the combative person to help restrain the person. The apparatus may then be used to transport the combative person after the person is subdued. The apparatus is impervious to moisture and is padded for protection and is somewhat rigid enough for transport purposes and is flexible so that it may be disposed about a person being subdued. |

IV pole having mounted at an upper end a holding assembly comprising a head and a plunger, and at a lower end a docking assembly. The head on an upper portion includes at least two opposed upwardly extending projections suitably for hanging IV fluid containers. The plunger is movable between an extended position in which the plunger is held a distance above the height of the projections, and a retracted position in which the plunger is proximate to the projections such that removal of IV fluid containers hung on the projections is prevented. The smooth profile of the head and plunger greatly reduces the risk of the IV pole getting snagged on an obstruction or causing injury to rescue personnel. The docking assembly permits the IV pole to be removably secured to a docking port provided to a structural member and to be lowered to a stowed position. |

A system for supporting a patient on a removable patient support unit, such as a backboard, includes a platform having spaced elements for supporting the removable patient support unit. The patient support unit is elevated above the platform and there is an unimpeded region between the platform and the patient support unit to facilitate placing x-ray film cassettes under the patient. The x-ray film cassettes can be placed and adjusted without disturbing the patient. The platform has features to hold x-ray film cassettes in a vertical position, catch and hold blood, support the backboard at an angle, and provide containers for sharp instruments. The system also includes arm boards for constraining the patient. A mattress covered bed can also be used with the platform. |

A spine board having internal stiffening elements mechanically connected to an outer shell via a number of speed pins. A quantity of urethane foam fills the spaces between the stiffening elements and the shell. The speed pins permit the rotational molding of the shell about a pair of graphite reinforcing tubes, which better distributes the loads to be born among the outer shell, urethane filler, and stiffening elements, thereby increasing the life span of the board. |

A stretcher for transporting injured and other persons is provided utilizing a conventional board which has been modified by forming valve stem bores and a pair of depressions therein for receiving inflatable supports. The supports are formed from flexible fluid-impermeable materials such as suitable plastics or elastomerics and include valves and valve stems for filling and releasing the supports with air. Conventional, manual pumps can be utilized by emergency personnel to inflate the support as as needed. The stretcher can be utilized with the supports deflated, partially or fully as required. When inflated, the supports provide maximum comfort and stabilization to the patient who may be kept on the stretcher for extended periods of time during transportation or treatment procedures. |

An evacuation or rescue device for a bed-ridden or non-ambulatory person adapted to quickly secure the person to a movable underlying mattress or the like comprises two sheets deployable one from the head-end and one from the foot-end. When deployed the head-end sheet meets the foot-end sheet over the persons chest or abdomen; the head-end sheet having an opening for the head. The two sheets, which are interconnected underneath the mattress, are then tightened downwardly over the long sides of the mattress by means of looped ropes pulled one from the head-end side and the other from the foot-end side. The ropes are self cleating when tightened and quickly secure the person in readiness for rescue and evacuation by a single individual if necessary. |

A compact and portable stretcher has a rigid body board long enough and wide enough to support a supine human body. It is overlaid with an inflatable mattress and may be flanked by inflatable buoyancy tubes.The body board is preferably made up from a number of rigid portions each the full width of the board and hingedly joined together to fold up around the deflated flank tubes and mattresses to form a back-pack in which the inflatable components are protected in transport by the body board portions.The body board is held flat by stiffener strings along the long edges of the body board. These comprise elements hingedly connected where the body board portions are joined, and movable between a relaxed disposition where they permit folding of the board and a standing disposition where they hold the board flat for use. |

A backpack frame is especially designed, together with ancillary equipment, to make easier the transportation of a litter or other load carrier by two or more human bearers acting in concert. The backpack frame contains features which permit the attachment of a connecting device which may in turn be attached to the frame of a litter or load carrier. The connecting device is attached to the backpack frame by means of a system of cables connected to a hand-operated winch which is mounted on the frame and which permits upward or downward adjustment of the height at which the load is carried while the bearers are actually in motion. |

A system of protection by modeling and/or immobilization comprises at least one flexible and leakproof envelope, a plurality of resilient and deformable balls therein, and means for establishing a vacuum inside the envelope. Two elastic skins joined in leak-proof fashion by their peripheries constitute the envelope, inside which vacuum is created by a vacuum-generating unit including a gas generator. This system can be used in particular for transporting the wounded, or as a seat, the latter being constituted by one or more envelopes. |
