A transport device having a layer of fire resistant fabric connected to a layer of plastic. A plurality of hooks are connected to the ends of the layer of fabric and a plurality of rings and handles are connected to the sides of the layer of fabric.

A person support apparatus includes a deck with a seat section, a leg section, and a back section. The back section is pivotally mounted to the seat section. The leg section has a proximal end pivotally mounted to the seat section and a cantilevered end spaced a first distance from its proximal end. The seat section, the leg section, and the back section are arranged to lie in a common plane when the deck is in a supine configuration to support a person in a supine position. A lift is mounted to the seat section of the deck, with the lift being configured to raise the deck relative to a supporting floor surface to a maximum height less than the first distance.

A lifting system for lifting a subject (12) supported in a particular position is described. The lifting system has a platform (10) for supporting the subject (12) on an elongate platform surface (101). The platform surface (101) is selectively configurable in a flexible state allowing the elongate platform (10) to fold along a longitudinal line for positioning beneath the subject (12), and a rigid state to support the subject (12) in the desired position. The platform also has one or more attachment structures (16) and, the lifting system has a lifting device (26) for detachably engaging (18) the one or more attachment structures (16) to elevate and lower the platform (10) cantilevered from the lifting device (26).

A first transport apparatus includes a deck for supporting a patient thereon and a lift mechanism supporting the deck. The deck is removable from the lift mechanism for use as a second transport apparatus or part of a second transport apparatus. The first transport apparatus further includes an electrically powered device at the first transport apparatus, and a user input device for wireless control of the electrically powered device, which is operable at or near the first transport apparatus and the second transport apparatus.

A strap for carrying a human body comprises a plurality of longitudinal fixing straps arranged in parallel and at intervals, a plurality of transverse fixing straps arranged in parallel and at intervals and a plurality of securing pieces. Each longitudinal fixing strap overlaps with each transverse fixing strap, each securing piece respectively connects a longitudinal fixing straps and a transverse fixing straps, two ends of each longitudinal fixing strap are adjustably connected to form a loop, and two ends of each transverse fixing strap adjustably connected to form a loop. The strap further comprises a bearing bed arranged between the longitudinal fixing straps, each transverse fixing strap is superposed on the bearing bed, one side of which is defined as a bearing surface, and the longitudinal fixing strap and the transverse fixing strap to form loops on the bearing surface.

A rigid mobility device for supporting a person having an injury as a patient in an upright position relative to the ground includes a first caregiver support platform, a second caregiver support platform, and a patient support platform. The first caregiver support platform and the second caregiver support platform can each rest on the shoulders of first and second caregivers. The patient support platform can support the arms of the patient.

An electrically actuated wheeled stretcher system which is adapted to provide electrically actuated raising or lowering of a stretcher mounted on a gurney. The system is primarily composed of a stretcher and a gurney, and may be used to transport patients and load and unload the patients by automated transfer of the stretcher from the gurney to other medical equipment, for example, a hyperbaric chamber, and automated transfer from the other medical equipment back on to the gurney. The system further includes an additional electrically actuated fifth wheel configured to provide smoother turning and rotation in place of the system. The system further includes continuous treatment items, such as intravenous fluid and medical gasses to travel with the system.
