Easy Rescue buddy a new innovative wounded soldier transfer system in the battlefield.

At ISDEF 2010, an Israeli Company presents a new innovative transfer system for wounded soldiers in the battlefield, "Easy Rescue". For consistent successful evacuation of injured or disabled personnel, deployed units require the appropriate tools and equipment. Put the BUDDY, a lightweight, easy-to-use alternative to conventional evac tools, in their packs and medical/evac kits. Being prepared for the immediate evacuation of injured or disabled personnel is a critical aspect of any mission. Whether on a designated rescue mission, or dealing with the unexpected, using the BUDDY in an evac or medical team’s pack can make all the difference between mission success and disaster.

When the job is to evacuate injured personnel, no matter where they are, the BUDDY does the job.
Stretchers and gurneys are still the best way to carry people who are unconscious or have back, spine or neck injuries. In the field this would require that the force size is large enough and appropriate access is available. Manufacturers have offered different ways of folding this heavy equipment. Yet once deployed, and loaded with personnel, lifting and evacuation out of deep ravines, narrow caves, steep and rocky footpaths, or high cliffs, will require additional resources. In short, field conditions may not be conducive to apply these conventional methods. The BUDDY however is suitable for the many types of injuries not requiring a stretcher. Simply unpack it, load the personnel, and go.
