Tuk-'N-Kari™ Transfer Sling/Portable Stretcher
The Tuk-'N-Kari™ is a low cost transfer sling or portable stretcher for mobility-impaired individuals. Constructed of weather resistant heavy denier nylon, it measures 28" x 43" with a PVC handle on each corner. The load capacity has been tested up to 500 pounds, yet it only weighs 1-1/2 pounds (including carrying bag). Two to four people (depending on transported individual's weight) can easily transport someone when it is inconvenient or impossible to use a wheelchair. The low center of gravity alleviates back stress in carriers. It is great for use in schools: navigate stairs and narrow hallways; use during fires, fire drills, or storm evacuations; use for school bus evacuation; and use to transfer patients from wheelchair to other pieces of furniture or locations. It does not replace a back or spine board in the case of neck or back injury.
