Junkin JSA-300-B: The Rugged Protection of a Basket, The Portability of a Pack
Wilderness and technical rescue teams often face a difficult trade-off: the superior protection and dragging capability of a rigid basket stretcher versus the logistical nightmare of carrying a full-sized litter deep into the backcountry. The Junkin JSA-300-B Break-Away Plastic Stretcher eliminates this compromise. Engineered with a durable Yellow High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) shell supported by a stainless steel outer rail, this stretcher splits into two nesting halves, allowing it to be strapped to a backpack for efficient transport to remote incident sites.
Once assembled, the JSA-300-B functions as a heavy-duty rescue basket capable of a 1,200 lb load. The HDPE shell provides a smooth, snag-free bottom surface ideal for sliding over snow, rock, or scree, protecting the patient from terrain impact better than open-frame litters. The fully exposed stainless steel top rail ensures compatibility with standard technical rigging bridles for high-angle evacuations. Equipped with a non-absorbent foam pad and four patient restraint straps, this stretcher offers a complete, field-ready solution for challenging extractions.
Key Benefits:
- Backpackable Design: The stretcher breaks into two halves that nest together, significantly reducing the carrying profile for long approach hikes.
- Rugged HDPE Shell: The Yellow High-Density Polyethylene construction is resistant to chemicals, temperature extremes, and rust, while providing a slick surface for dragging.
- Technical Rigging Ready: Features a full stainless steel outer rail that supports high-angle tie-ins and vertical lifting bridles.
- High Load Capacity: Rated to support up to 1,200 lbs, making it suitable for bariatric patients and heavy equipment loads.
- Patient Protection: The solid shell protects the victim from side impacts and debris intrusion, unlike open-frame scoop stretchers.
- Complete Kit: Ships standard with a non-absorbent foam pad and four heavy-duty patient restraint straps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
What is the primary diagnostic advantage of the JSA-440 plastic model over the aluminum JSA-440?
The JSA-440 is constructed from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), making the entire board 100% X-ray translucent. Unlike aluminum stretchers that block radiation or create artifacts, this plastic unit allows the patient to remain securely immobilized on the device while undergoing X-ray, CT, or MRI scanning. This capability eliminates the dangerous and painful process of transferring a trauma patient to a hospital bed for imaging, streamlining the "door-to-diagnosis" timeline.
-
How does the "break-away" mechanism function to reduce spinal manipulation risks?
The stretcher features a specialized center clutch assembly that allows the frame to separate into two halves. Rescuers can uncouple the ends and slide each half under the patient from the side, effectively "scooping" them up rather than rolling them onto the device. This technique eliminates the need for the "log-roll" maneuver, which is contraindicated for certain spinal or pelvic injuries, thereby minimizing the risk of secondary neurological damage during immobilization.
-
Is the high-density polyethylene construction resistant to bodily fluids and pathogens?
Yes, the polyethylene surface is completely non-porous and impervious to blood, vomit, and chemical contaminants. Unlike metal stretchers that can corrode or have joints where bacteria harbor, the smooth plastic shell is designed for rapid decontamination using standard hospital-grade disinfectants. This feature is critical for high-volume EMS services and emergency departments where infection control and turnaround time are paramount.
-
Does the material offer any thermal benefits for the patient compared to metal stretchers?
The plastic construction has low thermal conductivity, meaning it does not absorb or transfer environmental temperatures as rapidly as aluminum. In extreme cold or heat, the plastic remains thermally neutral against the patient's skin, reducing the risk of conductive heat loss (hypothermia) or burns. This provides a significantly higher level of patient comfort during transport, particularly in outdoor accident scenes or unconditioned industrial environments.
-
What are the adjustable length specifications and weight capacity for this unit?
The stretcher is designed with telescoping tubes that allow the length to be adjusted to fit patients of various statures, typically extending from 66 inches up to 80 inches. It locks securely at four different length positions to support the patient's head and feet properly. The rugged construction supports a load capacity of up to 400 lbs, making it a versatile tool for standard adult and mild bariatric extrications.
