NGS Stretcher

Solution

For large-capacity aircraft like the Airbus A380, the NGS system forms the core of the “First Aid Module” (FAM). It can also be expanded with everything that belongs to a proper first aid station, such as a seat for the patient’s caretaker, or a compartment for the storage of materials. Of course, this is all in line with our lightweight construction principle, and it takes up very little space – open or closed, too.

Functional principle

The NGS stands out with its practical functionality and is ready for patient transport in the blink of an eye. Folded together in a box, the stretcher saves space in the cargo area and can be transported to wherever you need it. In addition to its proven versatile design, the Bucher NGS also has a wide range of useful accessories, which are particularly evident in practical operational situations, and which provide significant additional benefits: for both the patient and operator. The result is increased efficiency – across all relevant aspects.
