Ridgegear "RGK42" Trauma Suspension Relief Straps, Pair

It eases the discomfort to the user whilst suspended from a lanyard or fall arrestor after a fall. The leg straps of a conventional harness do not prevent the webbing straps from cutting into the groin area during suspension, and loss of circulation to the legs and feet is often likely. Standing on the trauma strap relieves the pressure to the groin, and releases the tension within the webbing.

The trauma strap should be fitted to the harness prior to use.

The user must be fully trained on how to use the trauma straps correctly, and to practice using the trauma strap before use.

The trauma strap is intended for one use only and must be destroyed with the harness in the event after a fall.
