The Helitack AirBag is a NFPA-classified patient transport system designed specifically for helicopter short-haul and hoist rescue operations where litter-based patient packaging is required. Compatible with most backboards, rigid litters, and vacuum splints, the AirBag provides rescuers with a secure, efficient, and compact solution for transporting patients in demanding aerial rescue environments.

Built for rapid deployment and ease of use, the AirBag features integrated Cobra Buckles®, multiple patient packaging systems, adjustable bridle straps, and high-visibility carrying handles to streamline loading, transport, and patient management. Its durable construction, compact storage profile, and easy-to-clean materials make it an ideal choice for helicopter rescue teams operating in remote and challenging conditions. While certified for use without a backboard or litter, patient comfort may vary depending on patient size and condition.
