The Tactical Sked with Cobra Buckles SK-245C is 17 inches shorter than the Ranger Sked and measures just 22.5 inch x 79inches . It is easy to transport either in or on top of the backpack. It can be carried by the six sewn-on webbing handles or dragged using the tow webbing.
It comes in Coyote Brown color and has Cobra buckles throughout. There is a strap diagonally across the chest to keep the patient in if it gets inverted. Other Skeds do not need it because they are longer.
When rolled up the Tactical Sked is 7 inches in diameter X 22.5 inches long. If it is secured across your ruck you can easily go through a door without it hanging up. It is made of the same rugged plastic that all Skedco litters are made of so it is extremely durable in the most extreme environment. The accessories include: a pair of horizontal lift slings, a steel carabiner to secure the ends of the slings together for hoisting into a helicopter and a tow strap for “hands free” dragging.The backpack is 24 inches long X 7 inches in diameter.
When it is carried or hoisted the Tactical Sked keeps your patient’s body straight. It will not bend in the middle. Because it is narrow it forms an anatomical splint around the legs when the straps are pulled tight. It is truly the most versatile of all lightweight stretchers.
