Foldable Stretcher (Product Code: SLE/HF/01) is a lightweight carrying stretcher with an anodised aluminium frame that folds width-wise into two parts, so it can be stored flat and opened quickly when a patient must be moved. It is basic hospital equipment for emergency rooms, wards and other health structures, and its size suits transport in an ambulance. Health facilities, first-aid teams and nursing or paramedical training centres that buy from a TVET lab equipment manufacturer in India use it for patient transfer and handling drills. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

In an emergency room or ward, the stretcher is unfolded beside the patient, the patient is log-rolled or lifted onto the cover, and two or more carriers lift it by the side tubes to move the patient to a bed, trolley or ambulance. The feet on the side tubes keep the cover clear of the floor when it is set down, which makes loading easier and keeps the cover off wet or contaminated surfaces. Folded, it takes up little more than the width of its two side tubes, so it can be kept in a corridor cupboard or vehicle rack.
After each use, wipe the cover and frame with a chlorine-based disinfectant; both the cover and frame materials are specified to tolerate this routine. Public hospitals and rural health centres ordering through a government lab equipment supplier often keep several folded units ready for mass-casualty drills and outreach camps.
