The Xiehe Medical YXH-1A6 is a meticulously designed folding stretcher engineered to deliver optimal patient care and rescue efficiency. Combining rugged durability with lightweight portability, this stretcher is an indispensable tool for a wide range of emergency scenarios. Its innovative design ensures rapid deployment and secure patient transfer, minimizing the risk of secondary injury during critical moments. With a load capacity of up to 159 kg, it reliably accommodates a broad spectrum of patients. The compact folding mechanism facilitates convenient storage in ambulances, emergency vehicles, or medical facilities, preserving valuable space. Ergonomically designed handles and secure patient restraint systems ensure both patient comfort and operator safety. The stretcher surface is easy to clean and disinfect, meeting the highest hygienic standards of medical environments. The YXH-1A6 is more than just a piece of equipment—it is a commitment to rapid, safe, and effective emergency response, reflecting a deep understanding of the challenges faced by medical professionals. Built to stringent quality control standards, it ensures long-term reliability under demanding conditions, offering a dependable solution you can count on.

Construction & Materials

The YXH-1A6 frame is built from high-strength aluminum alloy tubing, selected for its superior strength-to-weight ratio. This material delivers the rigidity needed to safely support patients up to 159 kg while keeping the stretcher itself at just 9.4 kg—light enough for a single operator to carry and maneuver with ease.

The patient contact surface is made from high-quality PVC material, offering excellent waterproofing and stain resistance. The smooth, non-porous surface prevents liquid penetration, withstands repeated cleaning with hospital-grade disinfectants, and meets medical hygiene standards. The fabric is securely attached to the aluminum frame, eliminating any risk of detachment under load.

The stretcher is equipped with built-in wheels and support legs (outriggers), providing flexibility for both wheeled transport and stationary positioning. The wheels enable smooth movement across flat surfaces, while the support legs ensure stable placement when loading or unloading patients.

All aluminum components undergo a corrosion-resistant anodizing treatment, ensuring long-term durability even in harsh environments—coastal rescue operations, humid tropical climates, or vehicle storage where condensation is common.

Design Features

Rapid Fold-and-Store Mechanism

A center-pivot folding system allows the stretcher to collapse from its full 185 cm length down to a compact 92.5 cm in a single motion. At only 11 cm thick when folded, it fits easily into ambulance compartments, helicopter rescue bays, hospital supply closets, or even standard vehicle trunks. Two units pack efficiently into one carton (105 × 16 × 24 cm), optimizing both shipping and warehouse space.

Integrated Ergonomic Handles

Four ergonomic handles—two at each end—provide multiple grip options for two-person or four-person carries. The handles are welded directly onto the aluminum frame rather than bolted, eliminating potential failure points and ensuring reliable weight transfer during transport over uneven ground.

Foldable Support Legs

Two retractable support legs automatically extend when the stretcher is unfolded, raising the patient platform 18 cm off the ground. This elevation keeps the patient away from wet, cold, or contaminated surfaces while allowing rescuers to grasp the handles without bending deeply. The legs lock securely in the deployed position and fold flush against the frame for storage.

Patient Safety System

The YXH-1A6 comes with an integrated safety belt and quick-release buckle, allowing medical personnel to secure patients during transport—especially critical when navigating stairs, rough terrain, or transferring between stretcher and ambulance cot.

Applications

Ambulance Services: Ultra-compact folded size makes it an ideal backup stretcher for mass casualty incidents. Lightweight build reduces paramedic fatigue when carrying patients up and down stairs.

Hospital Emergency Departments: Functions as a rapid transfer tool between triage, imaging, and treatment areas. The smooth, non-porous surface simplifies infection control.
