Our Derby Helo Strap™ extraction device quickly attaches the patient to the helicopter hoist hook for a short-haul or hoist rescue operation. This system allows the rescuer to maintain a position behind the subject, securing them around the chest area for an efficient rescue evacuation. Two cinch straps with handles adjust to quickly secure the subject into the system. Originally developed by a southern California fire department for flood channel rescue, the strap can be used for helicopter hoist pick-off rescues from water or cliffs. Heavy-duty webbing and construction used for long life and durability in harsh environments.
Not intended for a patient with a spinal injury or injuries that require a litter evacuation.
