SKEDCO HELITAG HELICOPTER TAG LINE KIT

The Helitag Kit is designed to prevent litter spin during hoist operations. A litter can spin up to 180 rpm's. That is enough to cause a patient to become a "human centrifuge". The body fluids are forced to the ends of the body. Litter spin can cause death if allowed to continue. The helitag kit when properly used will prevent litter spin completely.

This kit contains 250 feet of high visibility 7mm water rescue rope. The break strength of the rope is 1,900 pounds. Because the core is polypropylene and the sheath is nylon, the rope floats. It should not be used for rappelling. At the litter end of the rope, there is a "weak link" that breaks between 265 to 310 pounds. It is a safety "break away" that separates if the rope becomes entangled in trees or boat and ship masts. It is attached to the V strap with 2 stainless steel screw links. The V strap is attached to the litter with 2 Petzl key-lock carabiners (snap links). The kit is all contained in a 7 inch diameter x 23 inch camouflage bag. This is required onboard all Army MedEvac helicopters and in many infantry medical sets.
