A brand new rescue manikin which comes un-weighted and allows you to add your required weight to each of the pieces by adding water, sand, whatever substance you can empty out of the parts. This feature now enables you to transport, move and store the manikin more easily. Made from rugged polyethylene parts with each sealed piece assembled with stainless steel hardware, this rescue manikin’s range of motion of the joints, including bending at the waist, mimics real body movement and the unique joint design actually protects the rescuer’s fingers. Rescue Randy 9000 may be used in all weather conditions and weighs, before weighting, only 19kg. Each manikin component is easy to replace.

As with the EZ-IO Intraosseous System, Frontier Medical is pleased and proud to assist St John as they continue their exciting program to implement the latest emergency care equipment throughout their national operation.

Each day, routinely and easily, we adjust our ambulance stretcher/cots heights to allow patients to be moved from bed to stretcher or vice versa as effortlessly as possible. What most of us don’t know is that this revolutionary benefit was inspired by a single adjustable ironing board that Dick Ferneau and Ed Bourgraf of Ferno, back in 1958, saw one of their employees using to iron her daughter’s clothes. Both the then young stretcher pioneers watched as she pushed an easy to access release lever on the side of the ironing board, raised it all the way up and then adjusted it down to the exact height that would allow her to easily iron the clothes. (A state of the art ironing board back then). After witnessing that display of mechanical simplicity, Ferneau and Bourgraf returned to their workshop inspired to apply the same to an ambulance cot. It took just one week and several modifications until the pair developed a stretcher/cot that could handle the weight of an adult patient and still operate quickly and evenly. This height adjustable ambulance stretcher/cot took the ambulance industry by storm and today is still a well used and constantly evolving feature on what ever brand of stretcher that we are using.
