Frestems is clearly aware of the importance of the ‘golden hour’ in which a casualty’s survival may depend upon a quick and safe transfer to a field hospital. On Stand R055a, the Finnish company has launched an innovative field stretcher, which meets the demanding STANAG 2040 in every dimension.

Evacuating patients in today’s military operation environment requires a field stretcher to suit the very latest medical demands, while meeting increasing compatibility requirements. This is achieved by Frestems’ ProMIL-217. Lightweight, durable and foldable to a compact size, ProMIL-217 is ergonomically designed for ease of carriage and transport. A vacuum mattress can be supplied to provide the patient with all-body support during transport.
