A multi-purpose litter clamp comprises a clamp that preferably spans below the litter connecting to opposing longitudinal litter poles on opposite sides of the litter. The clamp can attach rigidly and securely to both sides of the litter. In many embodiments, all but a few inches of the litter's longitudinal poles are covered with a nylon fabric that make up the ‘bed’ of the litter. A plurality of clamp accessories can facilitate rapid and effective attachment and/or removal of medical equipment connected to a patient directly to the litter on which the patient lies, either during transport and/or while in a field hospital.

A folding, lightweight, portable, and rugged surgical operating platform apparatus that can be erected quickly under adverse conditions at any location and without tools other than the users hands and without the need to attach any loose pieces to form the unitary platform. As needed, the surgical platform will hold, support, elevate, move, and tilt a stretcher (or litter in military terms) bearing a wounded person and the portable surgical support equipment such as IV poles, surgical instrument trays, armboards, wrist restraints, leg stirrups, light poles, and other equipment that a surgeon needs to treat major injuries and save lives. In the folded position, the platform takes up limited, uniform space for ease of portability by a single individual. Different users have different applications and requirements for how the platform is supported using stationary supporting legs or wheels when rolling capability are required.
