The ResQMat enables carers to rapidly and safely evacuate people with mobility problems in an emergency. The built in padding and extra pillow under the head mean that the ResQmat is safe and comfortable for people when going down stairs and over rough surfaces. With three wide Velcro straps patients being moved are completely enclosed, meaning the patient is contained once they are in a safe location, which is especially important when working with people with dementia who may wander.
