Vita Rescue System Keeps Litters Stable


The need to stabilize and stop rotation in helicopter-hoisted patient litters is an ongoing headache for air EMS crews. The Vita Rescue System, which is designed to work with all major rescue kits, terminates this problem by attaching a frame with a pair of horizontally mounted, counterthrusting electric, ducted fans on either side of the litter.


“The system uses a proprietary software suite to sense the environment, interpret the data from the environment, and power the counterthrusts as needed to prevent swing and spin, or to ‘fly’ the litter off-center to perform vertical rescues,” explained Vita Inclinata Chief of Staff Lillian Hoffer Long. “The attachment provides stabilization to prevent swing and spin, direct control to position the kit as needed for ease of use and efficiency to hoist a patient into an aircraft cabin, and flight control to horizontally fly the hoist off-center outside the diameter of the rotor blades to conduct vertical obstruction rescues such as high-rise tower, mountain or cliffside, and shipside.” Learn more at https://vitatech.co/ products-rescuesystem/.
