A flotation system suitable for ocean, lake and swift-water rescue, designed to fit the Cascade Professional and Advanced series litters with a Daisy Chain and most other tube frame litters from other manufacturers. It is easily attached and removed. 

 

The system maintains the litter position of a head-high horizontal position for ease of loading and is capable of floating the litter, patient and at least one rescuer. 

 

Buoyancy: The system is designed to float a litter and patient in a slightly “head up” orientation.  It will also partially float an attendant positioned to the side or end of the litter.  Depending upon the distribution of the weight it will adequately float up to 400lbs (180kg).

 

Construction: The external cover of the system is 600 denier waterproof nylon pack cloth.  Internal foam is 1.2 pound density closed cell polyethylene foam.  It will not absorb water.  The strap segments are 1” heavy duty polypropylene webbing with Velcro.
