The 900 Yates Lifting Bridle, along with the Spec Pak system, represents a leap forward in patient packaging and extrication techniques. This system marries the immobilization benefits of a traditional shortboard with the comprehensive support and versatility of a full-body harness. It features an integrated polyethylene board that not only reduces wear but also facilitates smooth sliding in confined spaces, enhancing operational efficiency. The presence of grab handles at strategic locations improves maneuverability through tight spaces, making it a cornerstone for vertical environment rescues.

Key Features

Integrated Support System: Combines the immobilization of a backboard with the full-body support of a harness for comprehensive patient management.
Enhanced Maneuverability: Features grab handles for improved control in confined spaces, essential for navigating through challenging terrains.
Durable Construction: Utilizes a polyethylene board for reduced wear and a smooth sliding surface, ensuring longevity and performance in demanding operations.
Self-adjusting Cervical Restraint: Addresses common challenges associated with vertical patient lifts, providing a safer and more secure immobilization.
Complete Package: Includes a 905WT Lifting Bridle for versatility in lifting operations, with reinforced D-Rings for both vertical and horizontal maneuvers.

Intended Use

This system is indispensable for any rescue operation involving confined spaces or vertical environments. From emergency medical services to search and rescue teams, it provides a reliable solution for safely immobilizing and transporting patients. The Spec Pak is particularly suited for scenarios requiring limited spinal immobilization, with additional protocols like cervical collars recommended for complete support.
