The RSS™ (Rucksack Stretcher System) is primarily a day-sack or emergency 'grab bag', but has the unique ability to wholly unzip to become an emergency stretcher that can be used with or without a specially designed lightweight backboard.
In an emergency, a casualty in imminent life-threatening danger can be placed on the stretcher and lifted immediately to be clear from a danger zone. Once out of immediate danger the stretcher's specially designed integral straps can be secured around the casualty to assist immobilisation.
The RSS™ in the stretcher mode can be configured for lifting by two, three, four or more people (if available).
The RSS™ can be used as an improvised field stretcher using poles (strong branches / scaffolding poles etc) which, when fed through all of the lifting handles enabling a comfortable two or four-person lift.
The casualty, once securely strapped in, can be lifted horizontally, vertically and even upside down, or can be turned on their side for first aid purposes or to ease negotiating difficult extractions, i.e. to go through tight holes and spaces.
