Heat Reflective Shell (HRS)
by North American Rescue
Heat Reflective Shell (HRS) is a reinforced, lightweight casualty cover engineered to minimize heat loss and stabilize patients in pre hospital and tactical settings. The HRS features a 4 ply composite fabric with a protected non conductive reflective layer that returns radiant heat to the casualty, a tapered top to bottom shape with a built in hood for improved isothermal performance, and continuous 1.5 in. Velcro® closures for fast 360 degree access with minimal exposure. An integrated fluid absorption pad manages liquids at the patient interface, while reinforced construction is weight tested to support 250 plus lb. Pack size keeps the shell compact for kits and vehicle stowage, and the overall design supports use across military, EMS, and law enforcement operations.

Heat Reflective Shell (HRS)
Immediate Thermal Isolation for Casualties
When minutes matter, the Heat Reflective Shell provides rapid, complete coverage to limit heat loss and stabilize core temperature in the pre hospital environment. Designed for medics, tactical responders, and field care providers, the HRS encapsulates the casualty to reduce convective and radiant heat loss while preserving access for ongoing care. The tapered shape with a built in hood and integrated fluid absorption pad helps maintain an isothermal space around the patient, while continuous 1.5 in. Velcro® closures allow 360° entry points for assessment and intervention. This shell is a practical answer for hypothermia prevention during prolonged extrication, casualty evacuation, and austere treatment scenarios.
Reflective Composite Layer Technology
The HRS uses a four ply composite fabric with a protected non conductive reflective layer that returns body heat to the patient without conducting external cold. That reflective barrier is paired with durable outer plies that shed water and stand up to repeated use. The top to bottom tapered design concentrates insulation where it is needed most, and the integrated hood further reduces heat loss from the head. Continuous 1.5 in. Velcro® allows fast enclosure and controlled access, limiting exposure to wind and rain during treatment. Lightweight yet insulating technology makes the HRS effective in cold weather operations, maritime rescue, and vehicle crash extrication.
Reinforced Build, Proven Load Support
Quality construction is foundational to the HRS design, with reinforced seams and load tested materials that provide dependable support for heavier casualties. The shell is engineered to support 250 plus lb, offering both thermal protection and durable physical support during movement and packaging. Materials are chosen for flexibility and light weight, enabling rapid deployment without added bulk. Stitching and reinforcement points are optimized for repeated field use, and the integrated absorbent pad captures fluids to maintain a drier microclimate around the patient. The result is a casualty cover that stands up to austere conditions while remaining easy to carry and use.
One Product, Many Response Roles
The Heat Reflective Shell is versatile across military operations, civilian EMS, law enforcement tactical teams, and search and rescue units. It works equally well during ambulance transport, helicopter hoist operations, and remote wilderness evacuations. The light pack size makes it suitable for individual response kits, vehicle medical packs, and mass casualty caches. Because it minimizes exposure while permitting rapid access, the HRS is also useful during prolonged extrication, multi victim incidents, and cold weather mass care. Its combination of insulation, ease of use, and load tolerance makes it a practical addition to any responder toolkit.
