The AlbacMat is constructed from customised materials - including polypropylene board and a lightweight canvas material. These materials have been extensively tested in all types of situations (including strength,flame and heat conducted by CSIRO). The AlbacMat is manufactured to Australian Standards 2755 and has the CE mark (Class I).
The polypropylene board acts as an insulator to the patient and absorbs any concussions incurred while in transit. It also enables the AlbacMat to glide over all types of surfaces. this includes carpet and vinyl, as well as concrete, bitumen and grass, making it simple and easy for rescuers, while being comfortable for the patient.
The AlbacMat large features a Thermal Blanket for patient comfort and safe restraint for panicky patients or those who may try to remove themselves from the mat while in transit. It is stored in the foot pocket and can be unrolled over the patients' feet to cover their whole body and then they can be strapped in. You can still use the AlbacMat without using the thermal cover as the patients' feet will still rest in the foot pocket.
