In detail

Whether crossing a jungle river, evacuating a flooded house, crossing a canal in Iraq or negotiating melted water in the Arctic, water obstacles often pose a significant risk to the safety of both casualties and rescuers. Xtract™SR Afloat gives rescue teams a small, lightweight, viable solution.  

The Xtract™SR Afloat is a compact casualty flotation product for rescuers who must cross a water obstacle in challenging environments. Xtract™SR Afloat can also be used as an insulating mattress to combat hypothermia and improve patient comfort.  

The three buoyancy chambers can be inflated in any order. 

• Unscrew the top of one the inflation valves. 

• Inflate the associated buoyancy chamber by blowing into the one-way valve until the buoyancy chamber is fully inflated. 

• Refit the top of the inflation valve. Ensure the top of the inflation valve is screwed fully home. 

• Repeat the previous three steps for the remaining two inflation valves.  

Note: Check that there are no leaks from any of the three buoyancy chambers. 

The casualty MUST be in an Xtract™SR Stretcher in order to the use the Xtract™SR Afloat. There must be at least one person at the heat of the Xtract™SR Afloat at all times when a patient is placed in the device whether on dry ground or in the water. 

1) Place the casualty held within an Xtract™SR Strether onto the Xtract™SR AFloat. Make sure the orientation is correct with the casualtys head at the end of the Xtract™SR Afloat. 

2) Release all the straps that secure the casualty in the Xtract™SR Stretcher. 

3) Secure the Xtract™SR Stretcher to the Xtract™SR Afloat using the 11 toggles.
