Snowsled Ltd - Secure Casualty System (SCS) Rescue Bag Features

Features

Casualty containment is by means of two features inside the bag. Firstly the ‘Torso Restraint’ – load-bearing mesh, passes over the casualty’s chest area and can con- form to the shape beneath it – body shape or vacuum mattress. Secondly, the versatile ‘Boot Bag’, again using load-bearing mesh, can be used in several different way, ie, for both legs, one leg, or in a ‘nappy’ configuration if both legs are damaged.
The Boot Bag restricts slippage of the casualty down the bag/stretcher, whether being carried over rough terrain, or, and particularly so, during a vertical lower.

4cms wide strapping tightly anchors the bag to the stretcher, and the casualty can then be safely winched or lowered horizontally or vertically.

The loops on the daisy chains, either side of the Torso Restraint, are anchorage points for whatever other support systems may be necessary within the bag. The daisy chains can be used either inside or outside the torso restraint.

The SCS bag is made from waterproof Cordura fabric, and can be extremely well insulated, depending on current weather. Between outer and inner fabric different insulation materials can be introduced, and are not constrained by any outer straps. The bag is sufficiently large to contain a large casualty in a vacuum mattress and is also adjustable down to child size.

Casualty/injury access. The top cover (with neck collar and reflective ring),is zippered onto the base with one zip and three pairs of sliders. Each pair can then be quickly slid to where access is needed and opened at the spot. Thezip, with zip cover,surrounds almost the whole bag,which allows the bagto be completely open for casualty loading and access.

An A5 transparent pocket on the outside can be used to enclose arecord card.
