The MIBS (Multi-Integrated Body Splint) Stretcher is a high-performance casualty recovery system designed for the rapid evacuation of personnel from confined spaces, difficult terrain, or technical rescue environments. Originally issued to British Army medical and recovery units, this stretcher functions as a fully integrated body splint, providing spinal immobilisation and protection during transit. Its lightweight, rollable design allows for easy portage into remote areas, while its robust construction supports both vertical and horizontal lifting and lowering operations. Technical Performance & Build High-Strength Materials: Constructed from 1100gsm ballistic Cordura, offering extreme abrasion resistance and durability while remaining entirely metal-free for use in hazardous or sensitive environments. Integrated Splint System: Designed to wrap securely around the casualty, creating a rigid bodysplint that immobilises the patient and protects them during drags or lifts. Versatile Handling: Features multiple heavy-duty carry handles at the head, foot, and sides, alongside colour-coded centre lifting handles with fixed pads for balanced manual handling. Technical Lifting: Equipped with integrated straps for vertical and horizontal hauling, making it compatible with winch and rope systems for cliff or ship-to-ship recovery. Compact Portability: Weighing approximately 3.5kg, the stretcher can be rolled into a compact cylinder (approx. 24cm x 76cm) for storage or attachment to a bergen. Casualty Security: Utilises a multi-strap Y-harness and secure buckles to ensure the patient remains fixed even during steep-angle extrication.
