One of the many pieces of equipment that we use in our Bariatric Casualty Training Courses is a casualty transfer net. Due to the interest and feedback from our trainees, Bariquins has developed and had manufactured their own bariatric Safe Transfer Net, known as the Safe-T-Net.
The Safe-T-Net is 206cm x 175cm (6’9” x 5’9”) approximately in size. The Safe-T-Net was designed to be this wide as it is easy to reduce a larger net to a smaller one (by gathering in the webbing straps) than it is to make a smaller net larger. In the current climate it also assists in social distancing, though this wasn’t the initial intention for increasing its size.
The Safe-T-Net is intended for the provisional transfer of casualties or cadavers and to be used together with other suitable equipment where necessary. As the webbing of the net has a minimum breaking strength of 3,000kg, it will be more than adequate for all such situations.
The net is fitted with four carry handles per side to reduce grip-strain for the users. The Safe-T-Net is supplied complete with its own storage bag and, due to its minimal volume, should become a ‘necessary piece of kit’ on all fire appliances and ambulances, whether healthcare trust or private.
