Paper Pak Industries, has developed an innovative, portable litter designed to safely transport military personnel in all medical environments. APLS is designed to quickly relocate injured military personnel to the appropriate medical facility where necessary medical procedures can be administered.
Constructed with durable canvas and a highly absorbent cellulose core, APLS will support the weight of a soldier while absorbing blood, body fluids and other wet solutions.
APLS also supports patient warming and is compatible with all litter systems as well as a kit/set package for hypothermia support.
APLS's compact and lightweight design enables a soldier or medic to carry this life-saving tool in their day pack or ruck sack.
Each APLS is individually packed in a water-proof bag, thus protecting the cellulose core from water damage and possible contamination.
APLS includes several features that are suited for all echelons of military medical care:
APLS is constructed with (left to right) a highly absorbent cellulose core, a durable canvas, and a unique polypropylene backing that prevents liquids from leaking through the pad.
APLS includes a total of six reinforced handles that allow as many as six people to safely transport the affected individual.
Each APLS includes a sealable pocket locker for patient documentation, medical notes and personal effects.
APLS is equipped with two heavy-duty straps to ensure patient safety during transport. The straps can be adjusted to fit the size and orientation of the patient.
The perimeter binding provides additional strength to the APLS while also serving as a barrier for any excess fluids that move through the cellulose core.
