A stretcher for conveying a patient in an immobilized condition has a body support within a perimeter frame, and elongated flaps connected to the body support to define a tapering body support zone between the flaps. The upper side of one flap and the underside of the other flap each carry several parallel strips of hooked pile fabric, extending in perpendicular directions on the two flaps, so that by folding the flaps across, the patient can be immobilized in a tube formed by the body support member and the flaps. Longitudinal restraint is provided to shoulder and foot straps, free ends of which are secured by being laid between the flaps. An auxiliary pelvic harness may be used, and a head restraint is provided.
