Skedco Sked Inflatable Floatation System (Empty Ballast Bag)
- Low stock - 1 item left
- Backordered, shipping soon
This inflatable flotation system maintains the Sked® in a nearly vertical position in the water. It is self-righting and keeps the patient’s head completely out of the water, even in rough seas. The side floats and chest pad provide buoyancy sufficient to support two rescuers in the water in addition to the patient, while the lead shot–filled ballast keeps the foot end down and the head elevated.
The CO2 inflatable side float logs and the empty ballast bag (with hook and loop closure) can be filled with rocks just prior to use, allowing you to save space and carry 15 pounds less weight.
Made in the USA.
