Ambulance stretchers are medical transport devices that have been used since ancient times to move casualties or injured people from one place to another. It is a simple type of litter and, in some cases, still referred to by that name.

Though difficult to pinpoint who invented the ambulance stretcher, or when it was first used, it is known that the use of stretchers were widely used on battlefields and in emergency situations where rough terrain hindered travel by wheeled vehicles.

The modern ambulance stretcher has wheels that make transportation much easier, regardless of the terrain. An ambulance is basically a hospital gurney, or a narrow bed, on a wheeled frame, that is typically adjustable in height. They are usually collapsible as well.

They may have a lock inside the ambulance that serves to secure the injured person during transport. There are also straps that have to be utilized to secure the patient so to prevent the patient from moving and thereby aggravating any wounds. The most important function of the stretcher is to make sure to prevent further injuries until you have the patient secured in a fixed hospital bed or examination table within the emergency room of the hospital.
