Application and Casualty Loading (Packaging)
The SlixRR is a roll up stretcher designed for rapid application and deployment. The SlixRR is not
a technical haul stretcher. It is designed to be carried or dragged using a header rope. The SlixRR
may be lowered vertically with a suitable strength rope and under the control of a competent belay
system.
If neck injuries are present or suspected a suitable cervical collar should be fitted by a competent
first aider. If back injuries are suspected a suitable spinal board should be used. The 2 red straps at
the head of the stretcher may be used to locate a spinal splint or backboard.
Packaging the Casualty
Remove the Velcro strap and allow the stretcher to unroll. To make the stretcher lie flat counter
bend the head and foot sections. Undo the restraining straps and lay them out so they are accessible
after the casualty has been loaded.
The casualty is positioned centrally on the SlixRR stretcher with the head close to the top of the
stretcher.
Fastening the Chest, Waist and Foot retaining straps.
Ensure that all straps have enough slack before fitting. Push the male part of the buckle (on the
adjustable side) into the fixed female part. Make sure that both parts are fully engaged.
When tightening the restraining straps grasp the adjustable strap in one hand and push it towards
the buckle while pulling in the free end with the other hand. This will ensure that the casualty and
stretcher does not roll—as happens when only free end is pulled tight.
For very small casualties padding such as clothing or spare life jackets may be used to pad out the
volume allowing the retaining straps to be tightened up correctly.
The Chest retaining strap should be applied first. The SlixRR is a 'arms out, stretcher but the Chest
strap may be used to retain the arms if necessary.
It is important that the Chest Strap is not over tightened as respiration could be compromised.
Fit the Waist retaining strap in a similar manner and apply the Foot Loop. The Foot Loop should
be twisted to form a fig. 8 loop and passed over the top of the legs and under the casualties instep
(s). If leg or pelvic injuries are present or suspected the first aider will advise if the Foot Loop
should be applied. It is valid to secure a single leg if the other is injured.
It is important that the Leg Loop passes over the top of the leg or legs. In the event of the stretcher
being inclined a Leg Loop applied under the leg(s) will cause the knee to bend under load.
Fit the Leg restraining strap after the Leg Loop is secured.
When all restraining straps have been applied they should all be checked for security and the 'free'
end of the straps tucked in securely to prevent the stretcher party from accidental tripping.
To release tension on the restraining straps the buckle should be turned upwards. This will release
the tension on the strap and the buckle may then be undone by squeezing both sides of the buckle.
The casualty is now ready for transport.
