Cleaning in 1, 2, 3.
Is it time to clean your Retmex? No problem, you can clean it with a wipe and disinfectant or place it in the washing machine. We recommend cleaning each time you've used it.
Whether responding to a forest, national park, or another rough area, the Retmex Rescue Sheet allows rescue workers to safely and quickly carry patients out of the area without any bumps along the way.
With 12 secure carrying handles, multiple rescue responders can effortlessly balance and carry a patient from the scene quickly. The patient’s weight is evenly distributed across the sheet allowing for minimal disruption even over rough terrain.
There’s always a chance that you need to use the Retmex by yourself if there’s no one around to assist you. Webbing placed on the body zone makes sure that you can also use the Retmex Rescue Sheet for sliding when additional help isn’t available.

Retmex is used by paramedics, first aid teams, firefighters, rescue teams and anyone who has to deal with accidents or crisis situations. It is also used in healthcare institutions to move people from A to B or it serves as an evacuation aid during an emergency evacuation.
You normally operate a rescue sheet with 4 people. The weight of the victim will determine how many hands are needed to transfer the victim. There are 12 handles on this Retmex, so you can easily balance with multiple responders.
The safe working load of the Retmex Comfort is 250 kg. There is also a wider version available that can be loaded up to 385 kg. This is the Bariatric Retmex.
There’s always a chance that you need to use the Retmex by yourself if there’s no one around to assist you. If that’s the case, you will need to slide the victim instead of lifting. This can occur in critical emergencies. Therefore, we’ve decided to place the yellow straps on the lying side. If the straps would have been on the outside, this would have created an obstacle for sliding.
