UH-60Q/HH-60L Black Hawk MEDEVAC Aircraft

STRYKER™ Medical Evacuation Vehicle

The Stryker™ Medical Evacuation Vehicle (MEV) is a variant of Stryker™ family of eight-wheel drive combat vehicles, transportable in a C-130 aircraft, being built for the US Army by General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS). The Medical Evacuation Vehicle (MEV) is the Battalion Aid Station for brigade units, providing treatment for serious injury and advanced trauma cases.

Air Methods Products Division provides the Patient Litter System for the vehicle providing the capability to rapidly load and transport up to four patients on NATO STANAG 2040 litters.

Spinal Cord Injury Transport System (SCITS)

The Spinal Cord Injury Transport System (SCITS) was developed for the US Air Force as an improved platform and stretcher for spinal cord injury, burn, and multiple trauma patients. It replaces the Stryker Turning Frame and Collins Traction Device, both of which are no longer manufactured or logistically supported.

SCITS is a two piece design, comprised of a bedding unit and base unit. The bedding unit is equipped with a special vacuum mattress that forms around the patient to provide added support and stability to the spine and to prevent movement of the patient. Mounted underneath the bedding unit are devices for neck and extremity traction. The base unit allows the patent to be rotated from side to side or tilted into Trendelenburg (feet up) and reverse Trendelenburg (head up) positions. These positions may be used for feeding or cleaning the patient and preventing the formation of bed sores.

The bedding unit may be transported, either with or without the base unit, on board the C-9, C-17, C-130, C-141, Civil Reserve Air Fleet Boeing 767s, KC-10, and KC-135. The bedding unit, when used alone, also integrates with the UH-60, as well as both DoD and civilian rearloading ambulances and ambuses.
