SAERBAG III
4.8 Securing straps
The inner securing straps allow the SCOOPEXL stretcher/
backboard to be further secured inside the rescue bag.
The rescue bag has 6 lateral straps inside (Figure 53).
Each strap can be placed in 4 different positions, thanks to
4 loops in the rescue bag that allow the straps to be moved
according to the length of the patient immobilization device.
To apply the straps to the SCOOPEXL stretcher/backboard:
1. Open the strap.
2. Insert it in the handle of the stretcher.
3. Fasten both sides of the strap with Velcro, so that the strap
fits firmly around the stretcher handle.
Ensure you have correctly applied the straps to the
immobilization device for greater internal stability.
4.9 Lifting Handles
The rescue bag has 6 red lifting handles in the head, center,
and foot area.
Hold the lifting handles to lift the rescue bag if needed
(Figure 54).
Only lift loads that you can hold safely. Seek additional help
for heavy loads.
4.10 Monitor cable access
The rescue bag has monitor cable access on the left side
(operator’s point of view).
It allows cables to be inserted to monitor the patient
(Figure 55).
