The Bariatric Sked Stretcher is designed to move obese patients through difficult areas with less risk of injuring your back. It is 4 feet wide, a full 12 inches wider than the standard Sked, and a full 8 feet long. Made of very tough non-absorbing polyethylene plastic for containment of very large patients, preventing possible injuries during movement. It functions like the standard Sked - dragged over terrain, up a ramp to an ambulance floor, or hoisted onto a bariatric gurney. Includes a pair of lift slings long enough to accommodate nearly any size patient, a large steel carabiner (minimum break strength 9,000 lb) to join the sling ends, and a tow strap so two more people can assist in dragging. Made in USA.
