THE DEVELOPMENT OF TWELVE PROTOTYPE LITTER PADS AND COVERS FOR AEROMEDICAL EVACUATION OF PATIENTS.

Abstract

Twelve litter pads and covers were fabricated after development and design of three optimum configurations. The prime requirements affecting litter pad and cover design were patient comfort, buoyancy for use as a survival aid, fire and soil resistance, amenability to storage and transport, useful life, size configuration, and cost-effectiveness. The equipment is intended for use aboard aeromedical evacuation aircraft. (Author)
