OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
HELP HAS ARRIVED
Joe Luksha knows the extreme effort it takes to move sick or injured people from the
field to a treatment location after 20 plus years in the military.
"I wanted to take that 'Can Do' spirit I inherited from the US Navy Seabees and
invent needed equipment that would make the transfer of a sick or injured person easy and
keep the patient as comfortable as possible while requiring only one person to move the
patient" stated Joe Luksha,
President of Med-Zone, Inc.
What started this whole process was a request about a year ago through Med-Zone's web site www.medzoneinc.com to Joe. The request was
for a specialized wheeled gurney or stretcher to move ill or injured people from remote locations.
Two Doctors from the U.K. working in Zambia, Africa as missionaries desperately needed
some kind of specialized equipment to move sick and/or injured people from remote locations over uneven
terrain to the hospital for treatment.
In many of these locations there are only foot paths or dirt roads and no local ambulance
service like we are accustomed to here in the USA.
Joe contacted the Doctors and informed them that if he could not locate something that
would serve their needs, that he would get busy and invent something that would
solve their problem.
After continuous correspondence for over 12 months and many redesigns of prototypes,
Joe and the Med-Zone Team arrived at the "All Terrain Gurney", The ATG.
The ATG is quite unique. One person can take an injured or ill person through
rough terrain to a treatment location or to a location for conventional transfer to a hospital.
The ATG is simple in design enabling it to stand up to the riggers of off road use.
When its no longer needed, it quickly folds in half for storage.
All of Med-Zone's hard work paid off and 2 ATG's were sold and shipped to Zambia, Africa.
Recently, members of Fire and Rescue from Manatee County in Florida and a Fire and Rescue team from the Carolina's
have reviewed the ATG and all noted that this equipment was needed a long time ago and would be
of enormous help in retrieving people from rough areas.
The ATG currently has a patent pending as it goes through it's final tweaking before it
goes to manufacture, "There are a couple of small things to get just right" Joe stated.
There will be two additional types of ATG, one for the seashore and one for snow country.
