In the aftermath of disasters like September 11, Superstorm Sandy, Katrina, and Joplin, there’s a heightened focus on disaster preparedness among hospitals, school districts, nursing homes, office buildings and industrial facilities nationwide. This includes revisiting emergency evacuation plans for non-ambulatory patients, students, and staff. In response to the growing need and demand for viable, cost-effective and efficient transport solutions, St. Louis-based Ethos Preparedness developed the Med Sled® to ensure no one is left behind.
The Med Sled® facilitates swift evacuation down stairwells, enabling staff to efficiently transport non-ambulatory individuals of various sizes, from infant to bariatric. Its design simplicity allows for quick deployment, ensuring faster and safer evacuations compared to alternative methods. Utilizing the ‘roll and drag’ technique, the Med Sled® eliminates the need for heavy lifting and can be operated by anyone with minimal training.
Beyond its utility in healthcare, educational and workplace settings, Med Sled® also serves the first responders and military markets, offering vertical and horizontal rescue solutions for various critical situations. Additionally, it aids funeral homes and coroners in handling challenging removals.
Whether it’s a tactical quick drag rescue, confined space and high-angle extraction, or hazmat/decon situations, Med Sled® is a best-in-class solution for vertical and horizontal rescues.
