Abstract: A multipurpose stretcher is an advanced stretcher where we can transfer patient from stretcher to bed with minimum human intervention. If we see go by conventional method accidents and comfortless to the patient is more. This paper describes the design and fabrication of a multipurpose Stretcher for patients. We are required to design and create a multipurpose Stretcher which uses gears and belts for lateral movement and hydraulic jacks for adjustment of the height of the beds. The stretcher will be controlled manually with a wheel for lead screw and an extension lever for hydraulic jacks using legs. Currently the stretcher is only designed for linear movement. However, plans to incorporate maneuverability and other functions can beimplemented after the first stage of the development achieves success
Keywords: Stretcher, Patient Transfer, Safety.
