Using the Stretcher
Figure 33 - Foot restraint applied correctly
12. At the end of the process and after correct adjustment of restraints, pull together all the excess and arrange them so they
do not interfere with stretcher operations.
13. Once the application of the restraints is complete, proceed with the application of the H-shaped Velcro band to stabilize
and immobilize the patient's head. Apply the H-shaped Velcro band only after the restraints have been fully fastened.
14. Place the band over the patient's collar (Figure 34).
15. Insert the orange Velcro system into small side hole 10 (Figure 34; to identify hole 10, see Figure 25, page 17). Attach the
two constituent parts such that they cover the hole in the stretcher. Repeat the process on the opposite side.
16. Insert the black Velcro system into the lifting handle at the head end (Figure 35). Position it so that it is adjacent to the ear
hole of head immobilizer block. Attach the two parts that form the unit such that they wrap around the stretcher carrying
handle. Repeat the process on the opposite side.
17. Adjust the restraint to avoid placing excessive pressure on the neck.

●
Pass the restraint over the patient's feet;
●
Snap the second hook to pin 5 on the opposite
●
side;
Adjust the restraint so that the feet are correctly
●
and firmly locked.
