Southampton (Yeldrin) Sling
The Southampton Sling (Also known as the Yeldrin Sling) was designed by the then Southampton Ambulance Service (Now part of Hampshire Ambulance NHS Trust) during the 1960’s, Its design and purpose was to be able to rescue casualties from difficult situations within the dockyard (mainly cargo ships).
The sling is not only suitable for light rescue, but also for house removal and situations where a patient needs to be carried in the prone position.
In comparison to the Neil Robertson and Paraguard Rescue Stretchers, the application of the sling is less complicated, its construction also means it is less likely to perish or suffer from canvas rot as the Neil Robertson does.
Although the Sling cannot be classed as a full rescue stretcher, the sling has many uses for the majority of cases and in everyday use the sling has many virtues, it should be noted that whilst it is not Helicopter approved it is capable of sustaining a lifting harness and roped recovery.
The sling is made from polyester based PVC with hardwood battens stitched into the material along its length, thus making the sling rigid in use, the underside has alloy strips which enable easy sliding over obstacles and also to prevent or reduce the scuffing / damage to the material, the sling is approximately 6ft in length.
The sling should be used
