The Slix Stretcher may be used to raise or lower a casualty vertically or horizontally.
When correctly applied the Slix is a safe, protective stretcher that may be used in the
most adverse conditions.
The adjustable Closure and Foot loops will accommodate casualty insulation and applied
first aid equipment such as leg splints and the Spinal Splint
The configuration of the shaft will dictate if the Slix Stretcher can be raised or lowered
with the casualty horizontal or vertical but if circumstances allow, for medical considerations, the
casualty should always be raised or lowered horizontally.
The Horizontal Haul Slings are colour coded to allow the rescuers to choose to raise or
lower the casualty in a Head Up or Head Down attitude, as dictated by any
By attaching the Red sling leg to the Red Horizontal haul points and the Blue sling legs to
the Blue Horizontal haul points a Head Up attitude is achieved. By reversing the slings-
Red to Blue and Blue to Red -a Head Down attitude is achieved.
All closure straps must be correctly fastened and any surplus length securely tucked away
to prevent snagging.
All equipment used for raising or lowering the Slix Stretcher must be of suitable
strength and in first class condition.
Only the Vertical and Horizontal slings and the connectors provided should be used
to attach Haul lines to the stretcher.
Haul ropes and Lifelines must be to a minimum of EN1891A standard.
When raising or lowering the Slix Stretcher there must be separate lifeline
protection for security in the event of a main rope failure.
The recommended rope for hauling and lifelines is 11mm diameter Mammut
Performance Static Rope.
Using dynamic ropes can give rise to 'bouncing' which is uncomfortable for the
casualty.
Karabiners must be of screw gate type to a minimum of 26Kn. BS EN362, and
correctly attached with the gates tightened.
Screw links (mallion rapide's, Quick Links) must be to a minimum of 26Kn. BS
EN362 and correctly attached with the screw link tightened
Belays for the Haul and Lifelines must be sound and capable of withstanding 26Kn.
At all times during a raise or lower the haul rope and lifelines must be kept
Failure to do so could result in an unacceptable shock load onto the casualty,
ropes, slings, belays or connectors and may lead to injury or equipment failure.
