The CMC ProTech Rescue Stretcher is a light duty, disaster response stretcher designed for durability and versatility. A unique feature of the ProTech Rescue Stretcher is the tubular runner rails that run the full length of the stretcher along the bottom. These rails provide a very strong and durable base, making it far more difficult to damage from regular use as compared to other baskets using flat bars only. This product represents a very cost effective alternative to the more heavy duty stainless steel models, and will meet the needs of many users who only use stretchers occasionally.
