Stair Chair

These are designed for patients that can sit up while being

carried. They are useful for taking patients up or down stairs, or

through narrow passageways. The patient must be transferred

to the stretcher once back at the ambulance.

The extremity lift is used to place the patient in the stair chair.

All belts and straps must be secured before moving patient. The

patient's wrists may be loosely tied to prevent grabbing onto

fixtures and causing loss of balance when moving them. The

chair is tilted slightly backwards to allow movement with the

wheels on the chair.
