Public Sector

The REDE Rescue Systems technologies fill a void with easy to use, compact systems for line rescue and self-rescue solutions. Only three simple steps are required to deploy a lifesaving payload for victim extraction or self-rescue from marine environments. Use of high strength, small cross section cordage in conjunction with an innovative belay retrieval system minimizes physical size and weight. REDE stands for “rapid extraction from dangerous environments” and is pronounced “ready”. There are 2 issued US Patents and 6 US Patents pending. The problem: What if you needed to help save the life of a friend or co-worker who fell into a river, ocean, or through an ice covered lake? People who work or play on the water may often respond to emergencies alone for which they have no effective equipment or training. They are the first responders. According to a 2014 World Health Organization report, drowning is a neglected global health issue with 372,000 deaths annually, approx. 50% in open water. Floods kill more people than any other natural disaster in the United States. Public safety departments and those that work on the water have to deal with emergency water situations that they too often don’t have the training or equipment to properly handle. Over 70% of US fire departments (mostly rural) are volunteer and about 50% are not trained in technical rescue such as is demanded in water and ice rescue. Firefighters are 4 times more likely to die during a water rescue than while fighting a fire (NFPA). While water and ice rescue is low frequency, it is nonetheless a very high-risk operation. That’s why there is need for intuitively operated devices with high capabilities to lower risk to minimally trained first responders and increase the probability of lifesaving. Innovative solutions: The intuitive operation of the REDE launched rescue products will increase lifesaving capabilities of novice rescuers. Due to costs for training and manpower, this technology can be viewed as a safety and efficiency booster to allow an organization to continue or expand its mission with fewer personnel. Allows rescue operations at a safe distance by a single novice first responder. Speeds life-saving response time due to high capability but low complexity for the operator. Adaptable to varying rescue scenarios due to multiple payload variety. Provides the world’s first method to quickly establish a line loop around a rescue victim to tow them off of dangerous ice by a single first responder. Provides the world’s first method to attempt a self-rescue via a launched device. The Rescue LauncherTM technology lends itself to be manufactured as either a reusable factory re-packable system or a one-time use disposable product. Ultra-compact size easy to store and use at a moment’s notice.
