New and exclusive to SP Services – The Lewis Pelvic Applicator
Pelvic fractures are one of many potentially life-threatening injuries commonly associated with trauma patients which, if poorly managed can lead to severe and uncontrollable haemorrhage and even death due to prolonged shock and multiple organ failure. This type of fracture should always be suspected in casualties who have sustained high impact injuries.
Having the right equipment to hand, whether you are dealing with first aid or roadside critical care, can save vital seconds and may make all the difference in life-threatening situations. In just this situation, the Lewis Pelvic Applicator comes into its own, ensuring safe, fast and correct application of pelvic immobilisers such as the SAM Sling, facilitating effective stabilisation of the suspected or indicated pelvic fracture.

· can be applied by one person
· may be used on all surfaces with minimum friction
· facilitates effective, correctly positioned pelvic support
· used to safely apply a pelvic immobiliser in under 20 seconds

· lightweight, easy to carry and easy to store
· durable with high strength-to-weight ratio
