Ferno EasyFix Rescue Lite Vacuum Mattress
Ferno EasyFix Rescue Lite Vacuum Mattress
The vacuum mattress built for the job height and wilderness teams actually do: immobilise the patient, then get them into a basket stretcher and out. Ferno states it was purpose designed by European wilderness rescue technicians for exactly that, and it is 35 percent lighter and smaller in storage than other EasyFix mattresses.
It is built with a reinforced underside for durability and reduced friction, a robust full mattress weld with no seams or textiles for hygienic cleaning, and flame retardant outer materials and granules. A high volume alloy vacuum pump evacuates air quickly, the adapter free valve fits almost all suction devices, and the reverse air lock holds vacuum for more than 24 hours with no closing valve. Six operator handles make lifting and transfer into and out of basket stretchers easier. A reinforced base plate increases spinal rigidity, evenly dispersed granule chambers give optimal immobilisation, and the improved head, neck and upper back portion stabilises without a cervical collar, with a head pillow supplied. X-System restraints are colour coded with large buckles, and the mattress design leaves the patient's ears visible and accessible. It is 200 cm long, 131 cm and 85 cm wide, 4 cm thick, 6 kg excluding footrest, hand pump and bag, with a 220 kg load capacity, and it complies with EN 1865 and EN 1789.
For a general purpose mattress see the Ferno Full Body Vacuum Mattress or the EasyFix Plus. It works with the basket stretchers in the rescue stretcher range and the rescue and retrieval gear.
