Sterling’s sewn nylon prusik cord eliminates bulky knots without sacrificing the high strength and easy handling that has made Sterling rope so popular. These standard 7mm and 8mm prusiks are made of nylon, with a firmer sheath construction for greater durability and better handling.
The superior durability and suppleness of Sterling Prusik cords make them a popular choice for many functional purposes in the field. In rescue operations they function as load release devices, ratchets in pulley systems, anchor systems, and tandem prusik belays. These versatile cords are also used as back-up on rappels, safety tethers on fixed lines, and during roped travel.
A variety of vibrant colors are available for high visibility and easy identification of your lines.

Note: To ensure that your Prusik cord moves and grips properly, the diameter relationship between the standing line and your Prusik loop should follow the general rule of a 60-80% ratio. Proper guidelines recommend that you review your rescue applications and test any new cord prior to actual field use. Please choose 7mm or 8mm based on the devices and rigging systems that you will be using for maximum safety and effectiveness.
