At SOMA 2013, Matbock released the R-Lift. The R-Lift is a fully rigid litter with a weight of only 6.5 lbs. and a load capacity of 400 lbs. It is constructed from a Neoprene coated nylon material which offers high abrasion resistance as well as making the litter easy to clean. The R-lift comes with a built-in inflatable air bladder which is designed to support head and align spine, and integrated head straps to stabilize the head. Load rated patient securing straps are designed for hoist operations. It comes with a replaceable integrated emergency blanket. Easy and fast to assemble with only 1 person, the R-lift is compact in size for easy storage and transport.
The R-Lift will be available for purchase soon on MATBOCK’s website.
