Portable stretchers that consist of two poles (e.g., aluminum, wood) and a canvas, plastic (e.g., vinyl-coated nylon), or fabric body. These stretchers are very simple, inexpensive, and can be stored in a very small place; they are used to carry patients in emergencies, such as natural disasters, accidents, and fires, or when no other stretcher is available.
