Flight Stretchers
When patients need to be transported for treatment but are in no state to sit through a flight that requires them to maintain a sitting position for hours due to an illness, injury, or other condition, FAA-approved flight stretchers are a great option. A stretcher offers patients the highest possible degree of safety and comfort. The flight provider will arrange for a block of seats to be removed from the aircraft to accommodate the patient’s stretcher and all necessary medical equipment in place of these seats. Patients will be able to lie down throughout the flight.
