Yates Spec Pak Patient Packaging and Extrication System, Backboard and Class III Harness in One
Patient packaging and extrication system combined the backboard immobilization of a short board 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. 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 Pak system is a lifting harness, thus eliminating the need for a separate victim harness. Unique self-adjusting (sliding) cervical restraint eliminates the problems associates with lifting patients vertically while secured to a rigid backboard.
Spec Pak is only intended as a limited spine immobilization system. It must be used in conjuction with proper spinal immobilization such as the use of a cervical collar where conditions and protocols dictate.
