Recovery Stretcher Jason’s Cradle Horizontal Water Rescue for Maritime Safety

The Jason’s Cradle® Recovery Stretcher (JC002) is a SOLAS-approved, marine-grade stretcher system designed for the safe and efficient recovery of unconscious or injured casualties from the water. Engineered for use in commercial maritime, offshore, and military environments, this stretcher ensures a medically preferred horizontal recovery, significantly reducing the risk of Circum Rescue Collapse by keeping blood flow stable in the upper torso.
