ORCA
ORCA™ Operational Rescue Containment Apparatus
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. It has been optimized for use in marine environments and for lifting operations employing the Stokes Stretcher. The use of the ORCA-2016CN allows for the safe transport of contaminated patients who have been medically stabilized, while protecting the crew of ships and hulls, air crews, passengers, ancillary service providers and transport vehicles.
The ORCA ™ clinical unit is intended for:
– Isolated transport of medically stabilized patients on aircraft, ambulances, ships or any vehicle capable of safely transporting a patient on a Stokes or NATO standard stretcher.
– Use with Stokes stretcher to lift and evacuate patients from ships or other marine platforms with rotary wing aircraft.
– Temporary isolation with or without transport of patients within hospitals or other medical facilities.
