Skedco, Inc. products

This system includes everything necessary for rapid evacuation of mass casualties in a chem-bio environment. Because we never know how far away we can get from the Hot-zone we are including continuous loop twisted polypropylene ropes,1 each, for distances of 100 ft., 150 ft. and 200 ft. Longer ropes are available by special order. This kit allows as many as 4 rescuers in level A to work in the Hot-zone on a major incident. There are 2 Skeds for each rescuer in level A. There are also 4 clean Skeds for moving patients from the warm zone to decon to prevent dragging contaminated litters outside the area. Free videos are available.

The Bariatric Sked Stretcher is designed to move obese patients through difficult areas with less risk of injuring your back. It is 4 feet wide, a full 12 inches wider than the standard Sked. It is a full 8 feet long. It is made of a very tough non absorbing polyethylene plastic.  This will allow for containment of the very large patients inside the stretcher thus preventing possible injuries to them from being moved. It functions just as the standard Sked. It is dragged over whatever terrain the patient is in. It can be dragged up a ramp to the floor of the ambulance or hoisted onto a bariatric gurney.

Choice of the U.S. Army, this spinal immobilization/extrication device is the only device of it’s type that meets all of the established criteria for immobilizing a seated patient. An ideal companion for the Sked® Stretcher System, when properly used the OSS II provides for safe removal of patients from injury sites without doing further damage to the spine. The unique criss-crossing shoulder strap design provides superior immobilization without restricting breathing and, for clavical fractures, can be re-configured to retract and immobilize the shoulders. The OSS II is designed to provide easy access to the patient’s chest or abdominal area for treatment or diagnostic procedures. It can be used in place of a conventional short backboard and as a hip or leg splint. The OSS II includes a shoulder board not found in similar devices, which can be used to prevent compression of the shoulders when using a flexible stretcher.
