Alerta Medical launches bariatric evacuation sledge to offer immediate emergency accessibility
Medical equipment manufacturer Alerta Medical has launched a bariatric evacuation sledge to compliment its existing evacuation product range.
A natural addition to the ALT-E002 standard size Evacuation Sledge, the Alerta Bariatric Evacuation Sledge is used for transporting a user to safety during an evacuation. The user is placed on the sledge, secured with the chest and leg straps and pulled to safety using the straps at each end.
The flexible sledge and slippery underneath allows controlled and easy access through doorways and downstairs.
The Alerta Bariatric Evacuation Sledge is supplied in a wall mountable bag for easy storage and immediate accessibility in emergency.
Measuring 190 x 100 x 6cm unfolded, and including a foot pouch, the sledge folds into three. Its maximum user weight is 350kg.
Ian Lindberg, CEO of Alerta Medical, says “When reviewing evacuation, no one would say they are over-prepared. The consequences of being under-prepared, especially when lives are at stake, are unthinkable.
“The latest addition to Alerta’s evacuation range, the Bariatric Evacuation Sledge is designed to be kept near fire doors and stairwell entrances, ready for rapid deployment to safely transport individuals during emergency.”
