UST Suspension Trauma Strap Set
Lightweight web suspension trauma strap reduces onset of suspension trauma during post-fall suspension. Allows leg muscle flexing, relieves pressure, and prevents suspension trauma effects with fast deployment.
Product Overview
The UST Suspension Trauma Strap Set by Vaultex is a critical piece of fall rescue equipment designed to prevent suspension trauma, a life-threatening condition that can occur when a worker remains suspended after a fall. This innovative suspension trauma strap system provides immediate relief by allowing users to flex their leg muscles and redistribute weight while suspended, significantly reducing the physiological stress associated with prolonged suspension.
Suspension trauma, also known as orthostatic intolerance or harness hang syndrome, can develop within just 15 minutes of suspension and may result in loss of consciousness or fatality if not addressed. The UST suspension trauma strap is engineered to combat this critical risk by providing a simple yet effective solution that workers can activate while suspended, buying precious time until professional rescue arrives. This suspension trauma strap set represents a commitment to worker safety and survival in fall-rescue scenarios.
