The fact that water rescue is enormously important for many authorities, but at the same time there is a lack of suitable equipment, was recently shown by our comprehensive study "On water safety in our rescue organisations". Only half of all respondents stated that they regularly carry appropriate equipment for third-party rescue or self-protection. Here you can find all the details and results of the survey.
The different Restube versions for BOS use at a glance
Restube automatic inflates automatically on contact with water. It can be thrown to a person in the water from a safe distance and provides helpful buoyancy in a few seconds - ideal, therefore, for the first-aider, who thus does not put himself in a potentially dangerous situation. The injured person can hold on to the inflated buoy or lean safely over it and keep their airway above the water. Incidentally, Restube automatic is so compact that it can also be carried by a drone and placed directly by an accident victim using a drop system. You can find a demonstration of the Restube automatic in this video:
Restube lifeguard was developed in close cooperation with the SLRG as well as lifeguards of the RLNI, lifeguards of the DLRG and the Wasserwacht. The manually releasable buoy has the same buoyancy of 75N as the normal Restube, but it has a complete pulling system and 2 bending points, so that it can be very easily placed around the body of the casualty and fastened by means of 4 eyes with carabiners. Lifeguards all over the world use Restube lifeguard successfully in their daily operations - for current rescue, as an add-on on emergency vehicles or on watch tours.
In addition to Restube products, the Restube emergency cases also contain spare components for repeated use. The handy case - included in the scope of delivery - is dustproof and waterproof and can be integrated in the emergency vehicle to save space (26x23x12 cm external dimensions).
