Description

Fast Extraction Straps ÎS.E.R)

Current context :

In times of terrorism, the next step is the over-attack. The over-attack is to wait for the arrival of the police and rescue forces on the scene of the intervention to recreate an attack and thus temporarily paralyze the rescue. The rapid extraction of victims to the defined reception areas is a real necessity and must be done over considerable distances in order to be safe;

In war zone-type outdoor operations theaters, the danger is omnipresent and injuries can be of a varied nature. The wounded are consumers of staff to be extracted in a secure area and then treated.

Current difficulties:

As an army non-commissioned officer working for the Paris Fire Brigade, I command operations in the areas of personal assistance, fire and other operations. Extraction is a key moment, physically difficult and risky at this time of deadly attacks for which we only have stretchers and stretchers to extract the wounded so we had to invent a means of extraction advocating speed and efficiency and in addition, respecting the rules of intervention.

These S.E.R thus make it possible to overcome the problem of the extraction of the largest number of victims in a very short time. Blood and sweat make it slippery when pulling skin to skin, the clothes have no guarantee of resistance to pulling.

Utilities:

For firefighters, especially on fires, the SER facilitates rescues through existing communications (corridors, stairs ...), over long distances or presence of obstacles on the path by the ergonomic lifting possibility that it proposes in the permanent concern to reduce the time of action;

For all the actors of the chain of the rescue engaged on attack to extract the victims out of zone of danger;

For the military in external operations to be evacuated then to treat in a controlled zone.

Composition:

Two lower leg straps each with a quick-attach system (carabiner and home ring) and a quick-release buckle;

Y-connection straps;

A back strap with rectangle tightening in length;

A quick chest strap (carabiner and home ring) and two quick release buckles; 2 high carrying handles (close to shoulder blades); 2 low carrying handles (near the pelvis).

Technical possibilities:

This rapid extraction system allows the evacuation of a conscious victim, a seriously injured victim (even with one or more members torn off and / or decayed) but also a victim in a coma. 1 staff by traction:> If the victim is lying down, lift her bust in order to put her in a seated position while remaining on the back; > Take the carabiner in one hand and the welcome ring in the other; > Pass the chest strap by the back, under the armpits, to insert the carabiner into the ring; > Effectively tighten the device via the two chest tightening loops,> Tighten by the two high handles; 2 persons by pulling or carrying; ❖ Crochet the karabiner in the home ring and tighten the quick-release buckle as close as possible to the groin and perform an effective tightening; ❖ If the victim is lying down, lift her bust in order to put her in a seated position while remaining on her back; ❖ Tighten the back strap; ❖ Take the ring in one hand and the hook in the other; ❖ Go through the back, under the armpits, to insert the hook into the ring; ❖ Effectively tighten the device through the two chest tightening loops;

For portering have a staff on each side of the victim, each taking a handful of portage pelvis and one located at the shoulder blades.
