Hydraulic stretcher is another term for pneumatic stretchers. A hydraulic mechanism is attached to it that controls the movement of these stretchers. Certain stretchers that have a hydraulic mechanism, which is battery powered come under the hybrid category. The battery power is required for the functioning of the mechanics of the electric stretcher
