Designed to protect patients from further trauma during litter evacuations and carry-outs. 

 

The shield not only provides protection from falling rocks and debris, but also protects against inclement weather and brush without compromising access to, and visibility of the patient’s head. It also provides more room for a patient on a backboard or litter insert, and helps to reduce the “closed-in” feeling experienced by some patients. The reduced need for other head and face protective equipment also increased patient comfort. 

 

The mounting bracket eliminates the need for a railing clamp on the litter and allows the shield to fit most litters.
