  • Emergency stretcher kit
    Patent number: 6440160
    Abstract: An emergency stretcher kit is used in the treatment of certain bone and joint injuries. The kit includes a mat formed with an absorbent layer and an impermeable layer. A pocket attached to the absorbent layer contains a dual compartment packet having a thermal composition inside. The seal between the compartments is broken and the thermal composition is mixed to create an endothermic reaction to cool the pocket. The mat has Velcro straps and contact adhesive patches to secure the mat on a backboard and about the patient.
