SPEC PAK Confined Space Lifting Unit

Yates SPEC PAK

SPEC PAK from Yates is a unique patient packaging and extrication system combines the backboard immobilization of a "Short Board" along with the suspension and support of a full body harness. The PAK system utilizes an integrated polyethylene board along the back of the harness system to reduce wear and allow for a smooth sliding surface for confined space operations. Grab handles located at the sides and head of the PAK aid rescuers during movement of patient through confined spaces. PAK system is very useful for any confined space operations where a vertical environment is encountered. SPEC PAK is a fully certified lifting harness (ANSI Z359.1-1992), thus eliminating the need for a separate victim harness. Unique self-adjusting cervical restraint eliminates the problems associated with lifting patients vertically while secured to a rigid backboard. SPEC PAK is only intended as a limited spinal immobilization system. SPEC PAK must be used with proper spinal immobilization such as the use of a cervical collar where conditions and protocols dictate.
