The Bariatric EvacMat is designed for the safe evacuation of bariatric and large individuals from locations such as hospital wards or other public or private buildings in the event of an emergency. The Bariatric EvacMat has colour coded cross straps which keep the individual securely cocooned and the body weight held in place, making the movement of the EvacMat more stable. It has a tough slippery base allowing it to move easily over indoor and outdoor surfaces for horizontal or vertical evacuation of bariatric and large individuals.
