FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions about the Gazelle PS798

Can this stretcher be used for helicopter hoisting?

While robust, any aerial lifting operation must be performed with appropriate rigging gear and according to certified safety protocols.

What is the difference between the Regular and Tapered models?

The Regular model (PS798) has a constant width, offering more space for the patient, while the Tapered model is narrower at the feet to facilitate passage through very confined spaces.

Is the plastic bottom replaceable?

The riveted design of the polyethylene bottom ensures maximum strength, but replacement usually requires specialized intervention or returning the unit to the manufacturer.

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Expert Advice

• Teamwork: Due to the size of the basket and the patient's weight, plan for a minimum of four carriers for safe transport over uneven terrain.

• Patient Protection: In forestry environments, ensure the patient is protected from branches and debris by using a blanket or a facial protection screen adapted to the basket.
