DISCUSSION
The Fire Department's Emergency Medical Services Division requires
patient transport stair chairs to assist. in the transporting of
patients down flights of stairs and through narrow hallways, or in
elevators that are too small to accommodate gurneys. Without the stair
chairs, the firefighters have to improvise ways to move patients
without harming the patient or themselves. The Stryker Stair-Pro stair
chairs are equipped with ergonomic safety fèatures and accessories, and
will be used for all frontline medic units.
