APLS Life Guard — A Small Pouch That Becomes A Life Saver

APLS Life Guard is an extremely compact portable litter that provides essential thermal and absorbent protection during emergency rescues and evacuations.

APLS Life Guard provides the features of a more extensive portable litter system, but in a more efficient and streamlined design.

The compact portable litter features a Mylar lining that helps retain body heat while a treated nylon backing protects against wind and moisture.

A highly absorbent cellulose core wicks fluids away from the patient, thus providing an additional level of protection.
