IMMI’s PER4MAX™ four-point restraint for ambulances includes exclusive controlled deceleration technology to help EMTs ride down crash forces, applying less strain on their bodies. An estimated 4,500 ambulances are involved in accidents every year, but 84 percent of EMTs do not wear their seat belts because they restrict movement while treating a patient. IMMI’s Per4Max allows them to reach, stretch, and even stand up in their restraint if necessary. Patients will also remain restrained in an accident and will not be thrown around the interior of the vehicle, avoiding injuring the patient further. www.imminet.com. (317) 896-9531.

HURST Jaws of Life®’s EDRAULIC® EWXT line of tools can be completely submerged and remain operational while underwater without risk of damage to the battery or any loss of performance. When submerged, water enters the battery case, but the potting creates a seal that prevents moisture from getting to components, such as the battery and circuit board. The debut of EWXT technology comes in three tools: S 788EWXT Cutter (pictured), SP 555EWXT Spreader, and R 521EWXT Ram. The use of a brushless DC electrical motor in the HURST Jaws of Life eDRAULIC EWXT tools offers higher performance. www.jawsoflife.com. (800) 537-2659.
