The Cascade Rescue Professional Series Titanium Litter is state of the art in terms of the construction and materials used for basket stretchers and litters today.

 

As announced by Bristow Helicopters Ltd Search And Rescue, the Cascade Rescue Professional Series litters meet the requirements of a mountain rescue ‘winchable’ stretcher. The litters are being added to the BHL list of approved stretchers by mountain rescue teams and can therefore be winched by all SAR helicopters in the UK.

 

Designed as a remote access rescue system that offers a comprehensive rescue capability, the litters are constructed of 19mm tubular titanium and with 10mm tubular titanium bracing tubes for maximum strength with minimal weight.

 

Each litter includes four Patented Articulating Lift Points for either horizontal or vertical lifts, four Quick Tab Patient Straps, integral Padded Patient Contour Support and a heavy duty high density polyethylene mesh liner. 

 

Building on this class leading basket stretcher the system also has the Terra Tamer wheel system and Extension Handles. These fit not only onto the standard Cascade range of basket stretchers, but also can be supplied ready to be attached onto other basket stretchers.

 

The system is rapidly gaining in popularity. The split stretcher features trademark Cascade Rescue FastLock System for rapid 10 second takedown/reassembly.

 

The bespoke wheel system, handle system, flotation system and various lifting bridles are available to increase versatility.
