Foreword
The strengths of the Development department and field service specialists of Mittelmann Sicherheitstechnik have
been brought together for the development of the "COCOON" rescue stretcher with carrying function. Hence, it
was possible to combine development know-how for special rescue equipment together with the industry-specific
requirements and ideas from real-life application.
During the development period, the rescue stretcher with carrying function was tested in a wide variety of
application scenarios during ongoing training operations and was continuously further developed.
General Application
The rescue stretcher with carrying function has been developed for the lying rescue transport of injured persons.
The rescue system serves for the horizontal and vertical transport of injured people from exposed locations for
rope and, especially, air rescue. The enclosing of the person over the entire length takes place by means of tear-
resistant and water-repellent nylon fabric and the injured person is secured with an integrated rescue harness.
The objective is to ensure the safety of the person and to minimize the physical exertion of the rescue workers
as much as possible. The rescue stretcher with carrying function must only be used within the specified operating
conditions and for its intended purpose.
Through interaction, every combination of different equipment can give rise to unforeseen hazardous situations
and negatively affect the safety of the user.

Application Areas

Mountain, aerial and high-altitude rescue, for example, from areas that are difficult to access or from impassable
terrain.

User Training

The emergency personnel must be adequately trained and be familiar with the use of the rescue stretcher with
carrying function before its first use. In addition, in the introduction and the subsequent further training, the
repeated teaching of these instructions for use is necessary.
The training course must be strictly documented and be repeated at least once per year. The type, the scope
and the date of the training must be chronologically recorded.
