Quantum EMS Ambulance Child Restraint

When it comes to children, safety is of utmost priority. The Quantum EMS Ambulance Child Restraint helps to protect children being transported in ambulances by holding them safely in place on the stretcher, and preventing them from making any dangerous movements during transportation.

You can see exactly how it works by watching this simple video.

 

The restraint harness is made of a breathable, machine washable fabric that maximizes airflow and meets infection control standards. The child-patient will be comfortable in transport, as the harness is padded to reduce the risk of pressure sores.

If medical intervention is necessary there's a quick-release chest strap feature.

Available in four sizes, universally compatible with any cot, and serving children between 4 and 99 lbs., the Quantum EMS Ambulance Child Restraint belongs on your transport.

A Great EMS Headlight Option

For nighttime Search and Rescue, it's helpful to have a great flashlight you can rely on. The New Pelican 2780 LED Headlight is a wonderful option when you need light, but you also need full use of your hands. 

The Pelican 2780 gives you multiple light modes, providing you with the option for the Main LED (illuminating everything in front), the Downcast LED (illuminating everything below), Flashing mode (to be used as a beacon), and the Main/Downcast Combo LED mode for a more expandable view. As an added bonus, the 2780 is waterproof (IPX7, submerged to 1 meter for 30 minutes).

When you have 430 bright lumens shining from your head, you're enabled to conquer tough terrain by lighting up dark places and unseen obstacles. This light can serve as a great search and rescue option or do double duty as a task light when you're beginning to run IV's or splint a patient when it's too dark to see.

The Pelican 2780 LED Headlight features a pivoting head giving you a 70 degree directional beam so you can shine light exactly where you need it.

It also includes 3 interchangeable covers in black, white, and photoluminescent.

Using simple 4AA batteries, this bright, waterproof, and durable headlight will prove it's conveniences the first time you put it to use.
