Raven Concealment Systems and Eleven 10 LLC Collaborate on New Low-Viz Blow-Out Kit

Wednesday, May 1st, 2013

This is literally a first-draft prototype of a low-vis blow-out kit Raven Concealment Systems is co-developing with fellow NE Ohio-based tactical company Eleven 10 LLC.

This kit is mounted on a Raven Concealment Systems ModuLoader Frames (a 5-finger Modular Frame).

The tourniquet carrier uses no straps or flaps, yet securely holds a CAT TQ in any position. The best part about this component is that it requires no secondary motions to deploy the TQ; simply grab the CAT and draw it from the carrier.

The mini-blow out kit uses a compact pull-out pouch containing a trauma dressing, Quick Clot Combat Gauze, Russell Chest Seal, and a pair of gloves.

The pouch design is only a proof of concept, and the production version will be much cleaner execution.

Darley GRF Expo – Rite Rescue

Thursday, March 21st, 2013

Rite Rescue was founded by three New City Firefighters and offers the coolest litter system I’ve seen in years. In fact, calling it a litter system would be under describing what it does. This modular system integrates two systems in one. The harness can be swapped between a hard plastic sled-type stretcher (Tactical) or a soft stretcher (Assault).

Additionally, the RAP (Remove and Protect) can instantly be hoisted thanks to the harness system as integrates an inflation system that immobilizes the patent’s head, neck and spine. These stretchers are currently the only ones on the market that are UL tested to the NFPA 1983 standards.
