The floating Rescue Pro leashes from Humane Innovations were meticulously designed to meet the needs of water rescue professionals in the animal services and fire rescue fields. Both of our models of floating leash use 7/16" rope and feature a trigger snap on one end and a slip lead on the other. The trigger snap can be connected to collars and harnesses and used to tether animals to stationary objects. The trigger snap can also be connected back to the leash (as pictured) to create a no-slip handle. The slip lead features a 1" stainless steel ring. Floating Rescue Pro Leash with Floating Leash: This leash features Sterling floating rescue rope and a single buoy to keep it afloat. The buoy can be slid along the rope to keep the ring against the next of the animal and to adjust which end has more buoyancy. This rope has an MBS of 4,271 lbs (not including hardware). Floating Rescue Pro Leash: This leash features Sterling HTP static rope and two buoys to keep it afloat. A small Prusik knot is used to keep the slip lead from falling off the animal. This rope has an MBS of 6,856 lbs (not including hardware). This leash uses non-floating rope. It relies on the buoys for floatation, so the rope and hardware will sink, but the entire unit will stay afloat. Both leashes have galvanized metal crimps and adhesive lined heat shrink, which create strong, corrosion resistant fittings. These leashes can be washed with warm water and soap and disinfected with peroxide based anti-virus sprays. These leashes are NOT rated for life-safety applications. The rope specs are included per model, but the hardware should not be used under load. The rope itself can be used within manufacturer guidelines.
