Description
The Ferno 5‑Section Flotation Collar is designed to enhance the buoyancy and stability of the Ferno Model 71 Basket Stretcher during water‑based rescue operations. Its five‑section construction wraps securely around the stretcher to provide and extra 20 kg (45 lb) of buoyancy for water rescue, helping keep both patient and equipment afloat while maintaining a balanced, upright position in the water. This added flotation support is essential for swift‑water, flood and marine rescue teams who need reliable performance in unpredictable conditions.
Each section of the collar is built from durable, water‑resistant materials that withstand repeated exposure to harsh environments. The segmented design allows the collar to flex and conform to the stretcher’s shape, ensuring a snug fit without interfering with patient access or securing straps. Lightweight, easy to attach and simple to stow, the flotation collar provides an effective buoyancy solution that integrates seamlessly with the Model 71 for safer, more controlled water rescues.

- Ferno Model 71 Basket Stretcher Standard (One-Piece) (MED-0808)
