Built for fire.
Proven in the field.
300°C continuous
The temperature-resistant composite fabric withstands continuous exposure up to 300°C and brief peak loads up to 500°C. That means it stays usable on escape routes where smoke and heat push standard equipment past its limit.
Slide-to-Save
The S-2-S slide system lets the casualty slide into the bag without lifting. It works on flat floors, inclined surfaces and stairs, which matters for injured or unconscious persons.
