NAR Rescue Sleeve II

Secure Hoist Extraction for Critical Patients

The NAR Rescue Sleeve II is engineered to secure and stabilize patients during both vertical and horizontal hoist operations, turning complex extractions into repeatable, controlled procedures. Medics, flight crews, shipboard rescue teams and tactical responders rely on this sleeve to protect the cervical spine, support the torso and keep the head locked in position while a patient is moved through high risk environments. The system is straightforward to apply under stress, it reduces the need for improvisation during confined space lifts, and it provides patient comfort with padded head flaps and adjustable chin and head straps. Included items support rapid mission readiness so teams can focus on care and transport.

Purpose Built Attachment and Head Retention System

Designed specifically for hoist operations, the Rescue Sleeve II integrates vertical and horizontal lifting strap attachment points for secure load transfer and balanced lifts. Removable head securing blocks lock the skull in place while adjustable head and chin straps tailor fit to each patient, and padded head flaps increase comfort and minimize motion. Thoughtful storage for hoist cable keeps rigging tidy during operations, while a backboard compartment allows compatibility with standard boarding systems. The system ships complete with head block, head and chin straps, and a protective carrying case for organized deployment and resupply.

Rugged Construction for Repeated Field Use

Built to withstand demanding operational use, this rescue sleeve employs heavy duty webbing, reinforced stitch patterns and robust hardware that stand up to repeated hoist cycles and harsh environments. Padded carrying handles spread load for comfortable movement by rescue teams, and components are designed for quick cleaning and rapid inspection between missions. The Rescue Sleeve II is standard issue to all U.S. Navy ships, reflecting the product reliability required for maritime and expeditionary operations. Its durable design reduces lifecycle maintenance and eases logistics for units that depend on consistent performance under stress.

Flexible Use Across Rescue Disciplines

The Rescue Sleeve II adapts to a broad range of operational scenarios, from shipboard evacuations to mountain and urban technical rescues. It supports tactical casualty evacuation, ambulance and flight crew transfers, and rope or hoist extraction in confined spaces where conventional stretchers are impractical. The sleeve works equally well for short duration moves and extended packaging, enabling medics to secure the head and spine while managing other life saving tasks. Its compact carry case and intuitive setup make it a practical addition to mission kits across military, EMS and public safety units.
