The Jason’s Cradle® Rescue Stretcher is the safest and most universally accepted method of rescuing a casualty from the water. The horizontal recovery position assists in enabling the casualty’s blood to remain in the upper torso helping to minimise the potentially fatal effects of Circum Rescue Collapse. The design and construction of the Jason’s Cradle® Rescue Stretcher gives it a two-person lift capability. In addition to its use in the commercial marine sector, the Jason’s Cradle® Recovery Stretcher is also in use with militaries around the world. It is a most highly regarded piece of marine safety equipment.
