The Sling Projectile inflates on contact with the water to become a flotation collar for the subject or, at minimum, an easy-to-hold floating ring. The 300-foot (91-m) 8-mm Polyspectra line floats and has a tensile strength of 9.8 kN (2,200 lbf). The average launch distance with the sling projectile is 200 feet (61 m). Products included: ResQmax Launcher with Folding Stock, Streamline Sling Projectile with 2 spare molded sling burst capsules, 300 ft.
Designed for rescue teams who need to mount a rescue litter on the outside of their response vehicle, our cover reduces weather exposure to the litter—and any equipment stored with it—from rain and UV. Oversized to make removal of the litter easy and to allow room to store bulky items, such as blankets, pads, and litter shields, the cover is constructed of exterior-grade vinyl material.
This fully adjustable litter harness intended for use with a rigid litter features parachute buckles on each of the four legs. This allows them to be adjusted independently, so the litter can be quickly and easily set at the best angle for condition or patient comfort. A heavy duty O-ring is used for the top tie-in point and a 10-ft (3-m) tender line and a nylon storage bag are included. Carabiners not included.
Faster to use than tying a harness out of web, the Low-Angle Litter Harness fits on the outside of the litter, delivering greater stability than connecting carabiners directly to the railing. Made of our 1-3/4 in (44 mm) flat web with a tensile strength of 44.5 kN (10,000 lbf), the center strap provides an adjustable backup to the other legs. The two outside straps attach just below the railing to the cross bar on the sides of the litter.
Designed for high-angle rescues where minimum weight is important, such as backcountry rescues or air operations, this harness has legs that adjust with a cam buckle for easily placing the patient in the most comfortable position. Color-coded legs aid fast set-up. The system ropes can be attached directly to the 54 kN (12,139 lbf) Delta Quick Link (included) or connected in with carabiners. A 10-ft (3-m) 12.5 mm tender line and nylon storage bag are included. Carabiners not included.
For many years the accepted method for securing a patient in a litter was improvised internal and external lashings using one-inch tubular web. Critical patient-packaging time could be lost and often the finished lashing was either too tight or too loose. Looking for a quicker and more secure way, we developed our Patient Tie-In System after testing a variety of prototypes in CMC Rescue School classes.
Featuring StratLoad™ Attachment Points. A complete re-thinking of the classic Stokes military-style litters, our Rescue Litter features a full one-inch diameter top rail to make the litter easier to handle when carried for extended periods. Durathene™ netting eliminates cuts and scrapes caused by broken wires. Back support is molded, highdensity polyethylene for greater durability.
Tapered with StratLoad™ Attachment Points. Amazingly strong and light, lift our ultra-lightweight Titanium Litter with one hand and you’ll have to have one. Built to the same specifications and dimensions as our stainless litters, the titanium model is lighter by 18 pounds. Like the stainless steel models, the titanium models have Durathene™ netting, molded high-density polyethylene back support and come with four litter straps.
Our Litter Shield attaches to a mount on the litter rail that allows the shield to pivot and nest inside the litter. A quick release pin allows the shield to be completely removed if necessary. The lower profile makes storage easier, but does not provide as much clearance for the patient’s face as the Litter Shield Plus (see below). Each shield requires a railing clamp.
Manufactured by Skedco, makers of the Sked® Stretcher, the Sked-EVAC tripod features aircraft-grade, gold-anodized aluminum legs and a cast-aluminum head. Three heavy-duty rigging anchors, located in the center, have exceptionally large holes for easy attachment. Legs adjust in 5-in (127-mm) increments for a maximum height of 10 ft (3 m) and a minimum length for transport of 7 ft (2.1 m).
