PETZL NEST: The Ultimate Confined Space Litter
The PETZL NEST is a highly advanced rescue litter engineered for technical rescues in confined spaces, caves, and challenging environments. Developed in partnership with France's national caving rescue organization, this life-saving tool is designed for versatility, comfort, and ease of use—allowing victims to be safely transported in horizontal, vertical, or angled positions.
Its construction combines lightweight strength with ergonomic features:
- Integrated Body Harness: The litter features a complete, integrated harness system to secure the victim, minimizing movement and maximizing safety.
- Color-Coded Installation: Intuitive color coding and transverse attachment points simplify setup and reduce errors in high-pressure situations.
- FAST LT PLUS Automatic Buckles: Quick and secure adjustments with a locking mechanism that prevents accidental unfastening.
- Flexible, Glove-Compatible Straps: Easy to use even when wearing protective gloves.
- Removable Stays and Plates: Longitudinal stays and transverse plates can be removed to reduce bulk during access or transport.
- Reinforced Handles: Handles are strengthened with high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE) for durability and a secure grip.
- Smooth, Rigid Plastic Bottom: Ensures optimal sliding and maneuverability on rough terrain.
- Comfort Features: Reversible comfort foam limits water absorption, while positioning foam at the thighs and feet adapts to all body types.
