APLS Transport

APLS Transport is a disposable litter designed to expedite the transportation of injured personnel to the appropriate medical facility.

Constructed with durable canvas and a highly absorbent cellulose core, APLS Transport can support up to 450 pounds of liquid or dry weight while absorbing blood, body fluids and other wet solutions.

APLS Transport also supports patient warming and is compatible with all litter systems as well as a kit/set package for hypothermia support.

APLS Transport's compact and lightweight design is small enough for a soldier to easily carry in their day pack or ruck sack, a police officer to store in a tight compartment of their trunk, and a search & rescue volunteer to carry in their backpack.

Each APLS Transport is individually packed in a water-proof bag, thus protecting the cellulose core from water damage and possible contamination.

Construction

Material

APLS Transport is constructed with a highly absorbent cellulose core and a durable canvas that prevents liquids from leaking through the pad.

Straps

APLS Transport is equipped with two heavy-duty straps to ensure patient safety during transport. The straps can be adjusted to fit the size and orientation of the patient.

Binding

The perimeter binding provides additional strength to the APLS Transport while also serving as a barrier for any excess fluids that move through the cellulose core.

Manufacturing Overview

APLS Transport is a fluid absorption and transport litter pad comprised of a closed edge format, constructed with one side black nylon film, possessing a core of composite material, and one side incorporating a porous strong cover stock material, known as non-woven. The pad is adhesively bonded to allow for combined construction. The canvas sewing at carrying points provides reinforcement, while the dual straps and clips secure the patient to the litter. The top absorbent core layer is available in white, black, or tan.
