BackBoardStraps
Instructions for use - English
BackBoardStraps have been designed for use in combination with the Ferno Scoop Stretcher 065 EXL to enable
mechanical lifting with a manual stretcher in emergency care. The straps are mounted on the Ferno Scoop Stretcher
according to these instructions. BackBoardStraps consist of four independent lift straps. There are 6 alternative lift loops
on one side of each strap to facilitate balancing of the stretcher. The BackBoardStraps are looped securely through the
handle holes (two on each side), and then connected to the slingbar hooks.
BackBoardStraps is part of a series of different models of transfer assistive devices. The choice of model and material is
determined by the patient's functional capacity and the situations in which the product is to be used.
Direct Healthcare Group's products together form the SystemRoMedic concept, which takes a holistic approach to
patient transfers. SystemRoMedic has four categories of transfers: transfer, positioning, support and lifting.
