OSL OverSized Litter Back Rest

Upright Support for Safer Evacuation

The OSL OverSized Litter Back Rest converts a flat litter into a support platform that improves patient airway management and comfort during movement. Designed for medics and evacuation teams, it enables rapid transition of casualties to a 45 degree or fully upright 90 degree position, which can ease breathing and reduce aspiration risk for conscious patients. In high stress TACEVAC and pre hospital scenarios, having a dependable back rest helps providers maintain spinal precautions while optimizing patient tolerance of transport. This product is ideal when patient stabilization and continuous monitoring must happen without compromising carry procedures.

Secure Attachment and Easy Angle Control

Engineered to attach directly to the 2 in. poles of the OSL litter system, the back rest installs quickly and stays locked in position through movement. Its connection method creates consistent placement at both 45 degree and 90 degree angles, allowing crews to choose the best orientation for airway management and comfort. The profile balances supportive surface area with low bulk, so teams can maintain litter handling and patient access. Lightweight and intuitive, it integrates into standard casualty handling workflows without additional tools, saving time when seconds matter.

Nomex Kevlar Cover for Durable Protection

The cover material is a Nomex Kevlar blend selected for high abrasion resistance and long service life in tactical and austere environments. This fabric resists wear from repeated loading and cleaning cycles, and sheds contaminants more readily than standard textiles, extending time between maintenance. Construction emphasizes reinforced seams and secure attachment points to withstand rough handling during transport and extrication. The result is a back rest that retains shape and function under heavy operational tempo, providing predictable support across missions and deployments.

Multi Environment Use for Modern Medics

Built for use across air ambulance, ground ambulance, shipboard, and field evacuation platforms, the OSL back rest adapts to diverse patient movement needs. Tactical medics, EMS crews, law enforcement medical teams, and search and rescue units will find it compatible with established litter protocols. Its oversized surface supports a broad range of body sizes while keeping caregivers able to access the patient for treatment. Whether evacuating through rough terrain or loading into a vehicle, the back rest gives teams a reliable option for elevating and securing patients without compromising carry ergonomics.
