A stretcher is a simple device that is used to carry sick or injured people. It is made up of a long piece of cloth held on each side by a wooden pole. The poles stick out at each end so a person can hold them. One person holds the poles at the front, and another person holds the poles at the back.
The rescue workers put the injured man on a stretcher and carried him to the ambulance. |
