What Is It?

The HMH Sked® Strap Kit is the dedicated strap and buckle system designed for use with the HMH Sked® Rescue System. It provides the essential securing components needed to package and stabilize patients during Haz‑Mat operations, hospital evacuations, and mass‑casualty incidents. The strap kit ensures that the patient can be safely contained in the HMH Sked without lifting, allowing responders to drag or roll-load the patient with minimal physical strain.

How Is It Used?

The strap kit is applied after placing the patient onto the HMH Sked. Responders use the straps and buckles to secure the patient so the Sked can be safely dragged through hazardous zones, over various terrains, or through decontamination corridors. This method reduces lifting requirements, which is crucial for responders working in heavy protective suits and contaminated environments.

Who Uses It?

• Haz‑Mat response teams
• Fire and rescue personnel
• Hospital emergency preparedness teams
• EMS agencies handling contaminated or non-ambulatory patients

It is widely used anywhere patient packaging and movement must be performed quickly, with minimal rescuer exposure.
