PRODUCT INFORMATION

North American Rescue — Confined-Space Extraction

Tactical Extrication Device (TED)

A compact, non-rigid emergency stretcher purpose-built for casualty rescue in high-threat, limited-space environments. Two rescuers can drag or carry a casualty up to 600 lb through confined corridors, vehicle wreckage, or breached structures — stored in a shoulder-carry bag that folds to just 5 × 10.25 × 3.5″.

600 lb1.5 lbNon-rigidShoulder bag incl.

Conventional litters — even folding models — were designed for open terrain. The inside of a shot-up vehicle, a narrow hallway, or an urban breach point where two rescuers can't stand side-by-side is the opposite problem.

What moves a casualty through a space a rigid litter can't enter?

The TED was engineered for exactly that — the same mission-driven design philosophy behind the C-A-T tourniquet and HyFin Chest Seal, applied to casualty movement. It folds to the size of a paperback yet supports up to 600 lb. Two rescuers grip the integral handles and drag or carry the casualty through whatever space is available; the non-rigid design conforms to irregular surfaces and bodies, reducing secondary-injury risk versus rigid improvised carries. At 1 lb 8 oz it's negligible added load, and the included carry bag with adjustable shoulder strap slings across the body, attaches to a pack, or stows in a vehicle medical kit. When a rigid litter can't get into position, the TED is a credible evacuation option that fits your gear without compromising your load plan.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the Tactical Extrication Device used for?

The North American Rescue Tactical Extrication Device (TED) is a compact non-rigid emergency stretcher designed to move casualties in high-threat, limited-space environments — including vehicle interiors, narrow hallways, stairwells, and breach points where conventional litters cannot operate. Two rescuers can use the integrated handles to drag or carry a casualty up to 600 lb, making it especially valuable during the Care Under Fire (CUF) phase of TCCC when moving a downed operator out of the threat zone is the priority lifesaving action.

How much does the Tactical Extrication Device weigh, and how small does it pack?

The TED weighs just 1 lb 8 oz (approximately 1.5 lb) and folds to 5 × 10.25 × 3.5 inches — roughly the size of a large paperback book. It ships with a carry bag featuring an adjustable shoulder strap, allowing it to be slung across the body or attached to a pack without adding significant load. This compact packaged size makes it feasible for individual operators to carry without dedicated litter teams.

How many people does it take to use the TED?

The Tactical Extrication Device is designed for two-person operation. Each rescuer grips one set of integrated handles — one at the head end, one at the foot — to drag or lift-carry the casualty. The non-rigid design is flexible enough to navigate tight turns and irregular surfaces without the coordination challenges of a rigid litter, reducing the team size required for successful casualty movement.

Is the TED appropriate for law enforcement TEMS and active shooter response?

Yes. Law enforcement Tactical Emergency Medical Support (TEMS) teams and active-threat response units increasingly include the TED in individual operator kits precisely because its compact size allows universal issue without dedicated medical personnel. In an active-shooter environment, moving a downed officer or civilian out of the line of fire before rendering treatment aligns with both CoTCCC-based Rescue Task Force doctrine and current law enforcement mass-casualty protocols.

What is the weight limit of the Tactical Extrication Device?

The TED is rated for casualties up to 600 lb, which accommodates fully equipped soldiers and law enforcement officers wearing body armor and combat loads. This capacity exceeds most operator loadouts even at maximum kit weight, ensuring the device is functional for the full range of casualties encountered in tactical environments.
