The present invention pertains to a safety wheeled Athlete Transporter System Apparatus Device Medical Equipment, aimed particularly at enabling the safe, easy, quick, practical, efficient and cost effective method for transporting an injured/incapacitated Athlete/individual from a sports playing Field/Court or the like, to the sideline of a gaming area from/for a type of injury, medical evaluation, etc. This invention expedites multiple medical services and also allows less time delay in the/an underway sports game/activity. Additionally, the injured Athlete does not have to hop, skip, etc., off the playing Field/Court, potentially further injuring the already sustained injury. The invention eliminates the injured person's need to put their arms around the necks/shoulders of the team coaches or trainer's neck, to balance themselves to hop, skip, or jump to the sidelines/health tent, etc., for medical assistance/evaluations. Not a stretcher or wheelchair.

Various implementations include neonatal transport apparatuses and systems employing such apparatuses. In one particular implementation, an apparatus includes: an isolation stage; a first mount on a first portion of the isolation stage, the first mount configured to engage a mounting frame of a neonatal transport unit; a second mount on a second portion of the isolation stage, the second mount configured to engage a stretcher; and a stabilizing coupler extending from the second portion of the isolation stage, the stabilizing coupler positioned to directly couple the isolation stage with a floor underlying the stretcher.

A compact, portable sled for transporting a person comprises a flexible panel, sheet portions and strapping. The flexible panel has head and foot portions, first and second sides, a sled length, and a sled width. The flexible panel is constructed of a wear resistant material for dragging over rough terrain. The sheet portions made of limp material that is less resistant to wear than the flexible panel. One sheet portion is attached to and extends laterally outward from the first side of the flexible panel. Another sheet portion is attached to and extends laterally outward from the second side of the flexible panel. The flexible panel and sheet portions are collapsible to a compact configuration and expandable from the compact configuration to a use configuration in which the person may be received on the sled for transporting. The strapping is used to secure the person in the sled.

A multi-purpose litter clamp comprises a clamp that preferably spans below the litter connecting to opposing longitudinal litter poles on opposite sides of the litter. The clamp can attach rigidly and securely to both sides of the litter. In many embodiments, all but a few inches of the litter's longitudinal poles are covered with a nylon fabric that make up the bed of the litter. A plurality of clamp accessories can facilitate rapid and effective attachment and/or removal of medical equipment connected to a patient directly to the litter on which the patient lies, either during transport and/or while in a field hospital.

A patient transport apparatus comprising a support frame, a base, a bracket coupled to the support frame and comprising a channel being non-linear, a frame assembly coupled between the support frame and the base and comprising a slidable member disposed in the channel, the slidable member being moveable between a plurality of different positions in the channel to place the support frame in a plurality of different poses relative to the base. The patient transport apparatus also comprises a sensor configured to detect the slidable member in the channel and produce a reading, as well as a controller coupled to the sensor and configured to receive the reading from the sensor, determine the position of the slidable member in the channel based on the reading, and determine the pose of the support frame relative to the base based on the determined position of the slidable member.
