Northwall creates special equipment and helmets for special applications with the aim of making every rescue operation more effective and safer, even complex ones and those in inaccessible or hostile environments.
The Northwall technicians and staff are expert rescuers, paramedics and doctors who work in various emergency fields and are always looking for the best devices used by professionals around the world.
The new TR (Technical Rescue) helmet is designed for all operators of rescue services who face risk situations. Designed to be combined with communi- cation systems or hearing protectors of different kinds depending on the conditions of use, various accesso- ries applicable to the front system such as: cameras, thermal or night visors, lights and many others.
The LMT Pilot helmets is designed for flight crew members of civilian or military helicopters. They operate mainly on board and require head protection during certain flight phases. The particular shape and construction materials have made possible to minimize the weight and size of the helmet without renouncing any of the security features required for flight helmets. The reduced size and weight allows extended wear avoiding altering pilots’ sense of balance.

The particular shape and construction materials have made possible to minimize size and weight always ensuring the highest safety standards.
The LMT Medic helmet is designed for a medical or crew members use, for those who needs to operate also on the ground. The special shape grants the removal of one or both earcups allowing the use of tools like stethoscope, the contact with the ground crew or any patient during rescue operations, while maintaining the security features required for flight helmets or on the operational scenarios.

The LMT Tech helmet is designed for technician crew members who needs to operate on the ground. The particular shape grants the operator to remove one of the earcups, allowing contact with ground crew or any patient during rescue operations while maintaining permanent side impact protection (features required for flight helmets).
APPI-Com is a Long Range Wireless Intercomfor professionals, for the whole team: from 2 to 10 people or more! Bluetooth connectivity, small size and great ease of use makes it the product not only suited for professionals but also for sports enthusiast and recreations.
spinal immobilizer: allows “extrication” maneuvers in confined spaces, ensuring rapid immobilization of the patient’s spine in a neutral position, even without the use of a cervical collar.
Divisible/foldable spine board made of Composite material and Titanium.
The mechanism and composition of Stila Twin allow the stretcher to drastically decrease its size while maintaining its mechanical strength properties and capabilities.
The conformation and folding method of Stila Twin allow all accessories to be contained within it, making it “ready to use”.
Inflatable spinal support for stretchers or soft hoist ops devices.
The Pneuspine is a support device for trauma patients, compatible with “basket” stretchers or hoistable
soft devices that, together with the Pneuspine, can immobilize the patient in neutral alignment and/or allow a high buoyancy in the aquatic environment.
Ideal for rescue in rough environment or for search and rescue teams that can move a light and compact object, which allows a useful immobilization stiffness of patients up to 150 kg. (331 lb)
The inflating air or inert gas mixture is possible with different devices, more or less rapid, with the cylinder or with a pump / compressor.
Compostite Long Board designed to the immobilize a trauma patient.
The special shape and the reduced edge thickness (7 mm) allow to load the trauma patient minimizing the stresses in many environment.
The STILA system consists of:
– Compostie Long Board
– Quick Immobilization belts
– Northwall Q-Head or Helmet Immobilizer
Individual First Aid Kit
This kit is designed to be able to practice life-saving maneuvers in the event of a traumatic event occurring to handler or dog of rescue dog units during search or training activities.
Composite materials board with a special shape that allows loading and evacuating a driver undergoing trauma from the race track in seconds.
A collaboration with race track medical services departments has given rise to a procedure and a set of tools dedicated to the quick evacuation of motorcycle riders who fall on the track.
The procedure was developed in order to evacuate riders undergoing trauma to a safe area in a reduced amount of time, making it possible to avoid preventive choices and ensure the ability to standardize operations and treatments by increasing the safety of the rescue operations.
The SkidBoard was built with particular solutions and materials that allow the patient to slide on the asphalt or surface of a race track and decrease the weight lifted by rescuers, limiting the possibility of falls and increasing the speed and safety of operations with an immobilized patient.
Rollable carry system
Basic Bag that allow to carry the patient on the Pneuspine , Sinctok or Stila along pathways using dedicated carry handles or dedicated shoulder belts.
The system allow to carry a ligthtest and compact litter ever.
With all the benefits of the Pneuspine long board, the Northwall Trail Bag can be the right solution for beckcountry rescue ops, medevac or escape operations.
Bag for lifting madical equipment.
Human cargo certified bag that allow the patient lifting with hoist, fix line or rope operations.
The system allow to lift and protect immobilized patient on a ligthtest and compact litter ever.
With all the benefits of the PNEUSPINE and STILA long board, the Northwall HCB can be the right solution for beckcountry rescue ops, medevac, on rope operations, helicopter rescue operations etc.
The Rapid Tourniquet is a tourniquet that is quick to apply and light to carry.
Portable, cost-effective containment system for contaminated or immunocompromised patients.
The ORCA-2016CN Containment Unit is a portable patient isolation unit (PIU) designed to prevent chemical and particulate (biological and radiological) cross-contamination between a patient and the external environment during evacuation and transport activities.
