Correctional & Military Applications

 Although handcuffs are used for typically short periods of time, the perpetrator’s skin, hair and body fluids can transport potentially infectious germs and microorganisms placing both the arresting officer and civilian at risk.

A litter is a stretcher or basket designed to be used where there are obstacles to movement or other hazards: for example, in confined spaces, on slopes, in wooded terrain. Typically it is shaped to accommodate an adult in a face up position and it is used in search and rescue operations. The person is strapped into the basket, making safe evacuation possible. The person generally is further protected by a cervical collar and sometimes a long spine board, so as to immobilize the person and prevent further injury.

A litter essentially is a stretcher with sides (or just a raised edge) and a removable head/torso cover. They are most notably remembered from Korea and Vietnam images of United States Air Force Pararescue airmen or more recent Coast Guard video clips of helicopters rescuing injured people from isolated areas. In the military litters and Spineboards are used to move the wounded and our fallen brave men and women!

When contaminated do they need to be cleaned and sanitized? Yes, the SDU can do both litters and military Spineboards.
