Yates 901 Military Spec Pak

Patient packaging and extrication systems 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. The storage bag provided is equipped with a shoulder strap for carrying and a 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.

NOTE: The Standard Lifting Bridal System (905) is included with the Spec Pak. (Spec Pak will not function in all lifting modes without the use of lifting bridles). The use of a 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.
