KOBUS RollUp Litter Flotation Device (2pc)

Rapid waterborne patient stability

In maritime and flood environments, keeping a patient secure and buoyant during movement is mission critical. The KOBUS RollUp Litter Flotation Device is a two piece flotation system designed to integrate with any RollUp litter, converting a standard evacuation platform into a stable, water competent stretcher. Tactical medics, search and rescue teams, shipboard personnel and EMS can use this device to prevent litter submersion, maintain patient airway orientation, and simplify transfer to rescue boats or helicopters. The solution reduces the complexity of water evacuations and lowers the risk of secondary injury during movement, enabling crews to focus on patient care rather than improvised flotation methods.

Simple life jacket style oral inflation

This flotation device inflates by mouth with a life jacket style oral valve, eliminating the need for pumps in austere environments. The oral inflation method lets teams bring the system online quickly, and the valves are designed for secure sealing under operational loads. Installation is quick and intuitive, and each unit is sized and shaped to interface cleanly with RollUp litters without tools. Because the device is dedicated to RollUp style litters, compatibility is predictable, and crews can rehearse deployment in training to shave seconds off real world installs. The low profile when packed preserves space in rescue kits and equipment containers.

Reinforced TPU construction for operational durability

Constructed from reinforced TPU, the flotation device resists abrasion, puncture and extended exposure to moisture and salt. TPU offers a balance of toughness and flexibility, maintaining integrity through repeated pack, deploy and stow cycles common in tactical and maritime operations. Seams and attachment points are engineered to withstand the strain of casualty movement and litter handling. The material selection supports routine decontamination and cleaning, helping teams maintain readiness in austere and high use scenarios. Lightweight yet robust, the device delivers dependable flotation without adding excessive bulk to an evacuation kit.

Multi environment use from ship deck to flood zone

This flotation device is built for diverse operational contexts, including maritime transfers, river and flood response, and littoral extractions. Its compact packed profile fits into rescue bags, kit lockers and vehicle stowage, and it can be carried as part of vertical evacuation gear for helicopter operations. Law enforcement tactical medics, military evacuation teams and civilian rescue squads will find it useful for planned and emergent water operations. The two piece set allows each side of the litter to be outfitted for balanced buoyancy, helping stabilize patients during retrieval and while preparing for further movement to definitive care.
