Patient packaging and extrication system combine the backboard
immobilization of a shortboard with the suspension and support of a
full-body harness. The Spec Pak system utilizes an integrated
polyethylene board along the back to reduce wear and create a smooth
sliding surface for confined space operations. (Skid Board dimensions 9"
x 33") Grab handles located at the head and sides allow rescuers to
better handle the patient package during movement through tight spaces. Extremely
useful for any confined space operation where a vertical environment is
encountered. In
addition, the Spec Pak system is a lifting harness, thus eliminating the
need for a separate victim harness. Unique self-adjusting (sliding)
cervical restraint eliminates the problems associated with lifting
patients vertically while secured to a rigid backboard. Storage bag
provided equipped with a shoulder strap for carrying and top connection
point for lowering without a patient in the device. Spec Pak is only
intended as a limited spinal immobilization system. It must be used in
conjunction with proper spinal immobilization such as the use of a
cervical collar where conditions and protocols dictate. Designed by Spec
Rescue International and Yates Professional. Weight 15 lbs.
Standard Lifting Bridal System (905) is included with Spec Pak.
(Spec
Pak will not function in all lifting modes without the use of Lifting
Bridles). The use of Lifting bridle is recommended for use in most
lifting operations. The upper D ring attachment should only be used for
short duration lifts, ideally 5 minutes or less. Exceeding this is uncomfortable
for the patient and increases the likelihood of suspension trauma. A
spreader bar (905SPREADER) can be incorporated into the system and is
available separately.
Standard 900 includes the following accessories which can also be ordered as replacement parts as needed:
Lifting Bridle (905) w/ Leg Support Sling
Adjustable head and chin straps (900HEADSTRAP)
Handcuff restraints (900HANDCUFF)
Durable weather resistant carrying bag (900CARRYBAG)
