PROFESSOR JAMES M RYAN OBE OStJ, MB, MCh, FRCS, FCEM, DMCC Emeritus Professor, Centre for Trauma, Conflict and Catastrophe Medicine, St Georges University of London & International Professor of Surgery, USUHS, Bethesda, MD, USA in testing the system says:
Quote... "I am of the opinion that this, essentially a very safe and easy to use device and the user would have confidence in its safety and reliability. Specifically I am satisfied there is no risk to the individual’s airway (A), Breathing mechanism (B) or Circulation (C). I believe this device will reduce the risk of manual handling injuries being caused to officers carrying out the lifting

procedure. Properly applied, the straps pose no hazard to limb circulation." "The device is constructed of very high quality, light but very strong materials, elegant, compact and made for ease and comfort of use and application. The colour coded system of straps is most helpful in preventing inappropriate application and use." "It was of particular note to me as a retired military surgeon that there is a battlefield variant. In its battlefield application it is a "care under fire" extraction device. It is multi – functional with a selection of three different body carrying straps giving the system great flexibility."
