Faster Immobilization Through Visual Cues In the chaos of a trauma scene, trying to untangle a black strap from a black harness in the dark is a recipe for delay. The Kemp USA Color-Coded 10-Point Spyder Strap System solves this problem by using a distinct multi-color design. The center trunk is black, while the cross-straps are color-coded (e.g., Red for bottom, Yellow for top, etc.), allowing responders to instantly identify which strap goes where. This visual guidance significantly reduces application time, ensuring the patient is secured and ready for transport faster.
Constructed from Heavy-Duty Nylon, this single-piece harness creates a secure web over the patient, locking down the shoulders, chest, pelvis, and legs. It utilizes high-strength Hook and Loop (Velcro-style) fasteners for rapid adjustment, eliminating the need to thread tedious buckles.
Key Features
- Color-Coded Efficiency: Differently colored cross-straps provide immediate visual reference, preventing tangles and ensuring the right strap is grabbed the first time.
- 10-Point Security: The "Spider" design anchors the patient at the shoulders, chest, abdomen, hips, and legs, providing superior stability compared to standard 2-point straps.
- Rapid Hook & Loop Closure: Fastens securely with heavy-duty Velcro-style lining, allowing for infinite adjustability to fit patients of various sizes without managing buckles.
- Universal Fit: The flexible nylon limbs loop easily through the handholds of any standard spineboard (Kemp, Ferno, Iron Duck, etc.).
- Durable & Comfortable: The wide nylon webbing distributes pressure evenly across the patient's body, reducing the risk of pressure points during transport.
Why It Matters Cognitive offloading saves lives. By using color to guide the application process, EMS crews can secure a patient instinctively rather than analytically. This is the preferred strap system for training academies and high-volume EMS agencies where speed and standardization are critical.
