A very versatile rescue stretcher that ensures easy and safe handling in all conceivable situations. For example, the four handles can be joined together so that the stretcher can be used as a sledge without having to carry additional, longer handles. The shell of the stretcher can be separated into three parts. Since the patient bag also serves as a "container" for all the parts and can then also be carried as a backpack, only one person is needed to transport the stretcher to the accident site.
