Med Sled® for First Responders

Vertical Lift Rescue Designed for Vertical and Horizontal Lift Operations

Because no emergency evacuation is standard, First Responders can count on Med Sled® due to its versatility, portability, and ease of use in these critical situations. Its compact design allows for quick deployment and efficient evacuation of individuals, including those with mobility limitations or injuries, from hazardous environments such as collapsed buildings, fires, or natural disasters.  Its durable construction and ergonomic features ensure stability and safety during transport, enabling first responders to focus on providing critical medical care while evacuating patients to safety.

Our Med Sled® Vertical Lift Rescue Sled enables First Responders to transport non-ambulatory patients horizontally and vertically to safety.  its compatibility with various transport methods, such as helicopters or vehicles, further enhances its effectiveness in rapidly evolving emergency scenarios encountered by first responders.
