Medevac II Series Litters
The Medevac II series of litters are the most widely used helicopter rescue litters in the world. Currently in use with all branches of the US Military, the Japanese Self Defense Force, Canadian rescue organizations, Royal Australian Army, and are standard equipment aboard all US Coast Guard helicopters and rescue boats. The Medevac II series are modern Stokes-type litters constructed with the marine environment in mind. The standard Medevac II (#404) is a rigid litter, while the Medevac IIA (#406) is a break-apart version. When stowed, the Medevac IIA occupies virtually half the space of the rigid Medevac II or other MIL-SPEC litters.

The original Medevac II & IIA litters are constructed of 304 stainless steel and then powder coated a light gray for a long lasting finish. The Break-Apart litter (Medevac IIA) is now available in titanium, providing a significantly reduced frame weight (approximately 40% lighter).

The tubing used for the frame of these litters is 30% thicker than that used on MIL-SPEC litters. Included are 5 color-coded patient restraint straps with LSC’s double locking Quick Release Safety Buckles. The troublesome wood rack used on the MIL-SPEC type Stokes litter has been replaced with stainless steel slats that run the full length of the litter. A smooth, plastic netting (with ½" openings) is used in place of the chicken wire liner. Optional flotation kits are available for each litter.

#406 Medevac IIA Litter (Break-Apart)
The #406 Medevac IIA is the break-apart version of the #404 Medevac II. LSC’s #406 is the break-apart litter only; the #406-F includes a factory installed #103 Flotation Kit. Couplers lock both the top tubes and the bottom skid tubes firmly together. Both sets of couplers are cast or machined from solid stainless steel. The top tube couplers are screw-type with self-aligning pins, while the bottom skid tubes are attached with hook and pin-type couplers This coupler system is the strongest in use on any stretcher today. When assembled, the Medevac IIA is as robust as the rigid Medevac II (having been proof loaded to 2,600 lbs. with no yield). Click photos for larger images.

#406-TI Titanium Medevac IIA Litter (Break-Apart)
The Titanium Medevac IIA features the same design and high-quality construction as the stainless steel Medevac IIA. However, the frame is constructed entirely of aerospace ASTM Grade 9 (TI-3AL-2.5V) titanium tubing and components. This provides a 40% frame weight reduction, with increased mechanical strength properties and improved corrosion resistance when compared to similar steel and stainless steel litters.

#406-TI Titanium Medevac IIA

The reduced weight is a significant benefit to aircraft operators, allowing for an increased available payload and reduced fuel consumption (especially if the litter is carried onboard as standard equipment). The ergonomic benefit of the lighter litter results in much easier handling and maneuvering, thereby making the Titanium Medevac IIA the ideal selection for remote location and mountain rescue operations. Also available with a flotation kit (#406-TIF) Click photo for larger image.
