JA&RE REACT rescue equipment MUST ONLY be used by trained persons. It is the responsibility of the user to be trained in appropriate confined space rescue techniques and first aid techniques, (if applicable), BEFORE using JA&RE REACT equipment. THE LIFE OF THE CASUALTY DEPENDS UPON YOUR TRAINING AND SKILL.

The Bariatric Version
of the SLIX100 MKll
Working with the West Midlands Fire Brigade Technical Rescue Unit
JA&RE has developed a Confined Space Stretcher for Bariatric casualties, the SLIX100XL.
According to government reports, the UK population is facing a significant increase in the proportion of Bariatric, (clinically obese ), patients.
It follows that those requiring transport or evacuation result in a rising challenge facing the emergency services.
JA&RE have developed a stretcher to help cope with the larger patient/casualty from areas where a rigid stretcher is unusable or unsuitable.
