Stryker Power-PRO cots

[ClutzyEMT]

What?? ^^ There is something other than the two man ferno stretcher??

We are now looking into the new Ferno that loads with one person~~http://www.fernoems.com/inx/ they will be doing a demo here next month so I'm looking forward to it. We currently use the Stryker Power Cot and although it has it's ups and downs (pun intended) for the most part it has been a terrific addition to our squad.

I've used both kinds, I like the Ferno better but not by much. I think it's all service preference or what kind of bulk quantity discount you get.

My service has the powered Strykers on every unit (about 40). LOVE them. We've had minimal problems with them, even with constant use. Stryker stair chairs have been great as well.

We have Stryker power cots on every truck and stryker power loads on most trucks as its phased in. It's actually lead to crews not putting in reports on trucks to avoid being switched into a truck without power load; we love them that much.

To address the weight of the cot we have tracked stair chairs on all trucks and use them for in and out of the house when ambulating isn't practical.

For bariatric we have the LBS version of the power cot and the powered stair chairs available on a response unit along with lifting airbags. Every truck carries the bariatric abdominal restraint now too.

Anyways, long story short, love the stryker power for!
