What is the load capacity of the Ex-Tract Strap?

The NAR Ex-Tract Strap has a 2,000 lb load capacity. This rating applies across all configuration uses — drag, carry, anchor sling, and vertical rescue — confirming the strap's structural integrity under the highest-force scenarios encountered in tactical and technical rescue operations.

How many rescue functions does the Ex-Tract Strap replace?

The Ex-Tract Strap replaces at least seven separate rescue devices: point-of-wounding drag strap, modified half litter, backpack carry system, hasty harness, confined-space lowering and hauling system, rappelling anchor sling, and litter hands-free integration strap. This consolidation eliminates the weight and cognitive overhead of carrying multiple single-purpose tools.

How does the four-loop design of the Ex-Tract Strap work?

The linear four-loop multi-handle attachment point system positions four loops along the 58-inch strap length. Different combinations of loops being used, the strap orientation, and the connection points to the casualty or anchor determine the functional configuration — drag, carry, harness, or anchor. This design provides unlimited rescue options from a single compact tool without requiring separate hardware or rigging components.

Can the Ex-Tract Strap be used with litter systems?

Yes. The Ex-Tract Strap is designed to be used in conjunction with tactical litter systems to provide hands-free carry capability. This allows the rescuer or carrier to maintain weapon access, use hands for climbing or navigation, or perform other tasks while the litter remains secured to their body or connected to the extraction system.

What does the Ex-Tract Strap weigh and how does it pack?

The Ex-Tract Strap weighs 9.3 oz and packs to H 18 in. × W 3.5 in. × D 1 in. This compact profile allows it to be carried in a cargo pocket, attached to MOLLE webbing, or stored in a medical pouch alongside primary trauma gear — adding negligible weight while providing seven rescue device capabilities.

Is the Ex-Tract Strap CoTCCC-recommended?

Casualty extraction and movement are TACEVAC skills under CoTCCC guidelines. The Ex-Tract Strap is used in CoTCCC-aligned training programs and included in the NAR Evacuation Skills Set. It is a capability tool, not an item on the CoTCCC Recommended Items list.

What training is required?
