German Medevac Transports Patients In Special Isolettes
German helicopter air ambulance service DRF Luftrettung will begin transporting Covid-19 patients in “EpiShuttles” this week to protect patients and crew.

German helicopter air ambulance service DRF Luftrettung will begin transporting Covid-19 patients in “EpiShuttles” this week to protect patients and crew. Costing approximately $44,000 each, the EpiShuttles resemble over-sized neo-natal isolettes and allow patients to be connected to a ventilator via airtight access while being monitored and treated at the same time. They also allow patients to be transported more quickly as helicopters need not be disinfected between transports using the EpiShuttle.
