The Ultimate "Spider Strap" for Roadside Safety The Kemp USA Reflective 10-Point Patient Restraint System (commonly known as a "Spider Strap") is the industry standard for full-body immobilization. Unlike individual straps that can get lost or tangled, this single-piece harness creates a secure web over the patient, locking down the shoulders, chest, abdomen, hips, and legs simultaneously.
What sets this model apart is the integrated Reflective Striping running down the center. In low-light roadside rescues or dark extraction scenes, this feature ensures that the patient and the contours of the backboard are clearly visible to oncoming traffic and other responders. The system uses high-strength Hook and Loop (Velcro-style) fasteners, allowing for rapid application without the hassle of threading buckles.
Key Features
- 10-Point Immobilization: Provides superior stability compared to standard straps by securing the patient at the shoulders, chest, pelvis, and lower extremities in a unified harness.
- High-Visibility Safety: Embedded Reflective Strips enhance visibility in low-light conditions, adding an extra layer of safety during night operations or roadside MVAs.
- Single-Piece Efficiency: The "Spider" design is a single unit. You simply lay it on the patient and feed the limbs through the board handles. No hunting for missing straps.
- Fast-Stick Application: Utilizes heavy-duty Hook and Loop closures for instant adjustability and a firm hold that won't slip during transport.
- Tangle-Free Storage: Includes a High-Vis Carrying Case to keep the harness neatly folded and ready for rapid deployment.
Why It Matters Time is tissue. A spider strap system is significantly faster to apply than four separate straps. It also provides better containment for agitated patients or those needing strict spinal precautions. The addition of reflective material makes this the preferred choice for highway safety and night rescues.
