The collapsible wheelchair is used by paramedics to move patients out of confined spaces or when they do not need to be placed on a stretcher.
Moving a patient from an apartment block down a flight of stairs is often difficult to do on a stretcher as some stairwells can be quite small. Patients also may be elderly or unable to walk.
The collapsible stretcher is designed to fold away and be stored in the ambulance and is lightweight and can be carried quickly and easily.
