Specifications
Description
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)

"As a rescue professional, having reliable and versatile equipment is non-negotiable, and when it comes to patient packaging in confined space scenarios, the Yates Spec Pak is my absolute go-to device.
Its versatility is where it truly shines. Whether we're dealing with a tight crawl space or a complex vertical shaft, the Spec Pak has a solution. The ability to simply drag a patient to safety using the robust handles is invaluable for straightforward horizontal movements. For more technical rescues, the integrated, rated attachment rings are a game-changer. They allow us to seamlessly transition to a rope system for either a vertical lift or a horizontal haul, all while keeping the patient secure.
The design shows a deep understanding of what rescuers actually need in the field. It’s durable, easy to use under pressure, and adaptable to almost any confined space challenge. In my opinion, it is truly one of the best and most indispensable patient packaging systems available on the market."
