Talon Rescue TRECK Clothing, Seat Belt Cutter and O2 Wrench

talonrescue — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 12:14:31 GMT

The TRECK is an alternative to trauma shears and seat belt cutters, specifically designed by EMT’s, Paramedics and Firefighters, to simultaneously remove multiple layers of clothing, racing uniforms, leathers, turnout gear and other obstructions from a trauma patient, without the use of trauma shears. With most articles of clothing and equipment, the initial cut and repetitive motions of squeezing the shears with your thumb and finger can be unsafe, tiring and time consuming. Shears can and sometimes do fail, and ripping can be a mess or not an option with many materials such as leather. With a single shearless insertion, and by using your wrist and arm, the TRECK works best as you draw it away from the patient. This prevents contact, and also allows the TRECK to slice through materials more effectively.
