The BUDDY is a new and innovative harness that effectively resolves evacuation and rescue challenges such as limited manpower or restrictive access. Compact and lightweight, the BUDDY is the best choice for evacuating injured or disabled conscious individuals from inconvenient locations in the field, on the job or in the home. As a safety tool, the BUDDY complements first aid kits and disaster response, by providing additional capabilities beyond conventional stretchers or safety blankets.
Made of durable, lightweight fabric and sturdy plastic, The BUDDY is designed for uncomplicated, streamlined use, making the BUDDY an important component of any emergency response or safety kit. Convenient and highly portable, the BUDDY is the preferred choice for safety, rescue and response teams, school outings, camping and treks, sports teams and more. Weighing under two pounds (<900 gr), the BUDDY is light enough to add to any triage bags, disaster preparedness and response kits, medical response bags and first aid kits. Taking the BUDDY along on any hiking or camping trip, ensures an evacuation capability, if needed.
Accidents and injuries are unpredictable and inconvenient, but do happen. In addition, they often occur in places where conventional evac tools, like stretchers, gurneys and evac chairs are of no use. At times like those, it is good to have the BUDDY around.
The BUDDY is a handy alternative to stretchers or evac chairs. The BUDDY is particularly advantageous in stairways, hillsides, gullies, ravines, caves and caverns, and allows only two evacuators to carry up to 260 lbs (120 kg), out of any tight spot. In addition, the BUDDY’s unique design allows for hands-free transport – evacuators retain full use of their hands for climbing and balancing during evacuation or for using other items such as rope, medical or first aid kits ore other supplies.
