The Sked® Foam Flotation System – Orange (Model SK-600-OR) is an essential accessory for converting a Sked® stretcher into a water-rescue-ready platform. Designed for swiftwater, flood, and maritime environments, this system provides the buoyancy needed to keep both patient and stretcher afloat during rescue operations.

The flotation system consists of durable, closed-cell foam inserts encased in rugged fabric sleeves. These float elements are quickly and securely attached to the stretcher using hook-and-loop straps and buckles, making field installation simple—even in wet or challenging conditions. The system also includes a detachable foam-filled head support for additional buoyancy and protection during water-based extrications.

Key Features:

  • Enhanced Buoyancy: Keeps the Sked® stretcher and patient afloat during water rescues.

  • Durable Materials: Made from high-visibility orange fabric and closed-cell foam for long-lasting performance.

  • Quick Attachment: Hook-and-loop straps allow fast, secure installation in the field.

  • Head Flotation Support: Included to maintain patient airway and head stability in water.

  • Compact & Lightweight: Easy to pack and deploy with minimal added weight to gear.

  • High Visibility: Bright orange color improves visibility in open water and flood zones.

Included Components:

  • Side flotation logs with foam inserts

  • Head support flotation block

  • Mounting straps and attachment hardware

  • Storage/carry bag

Applications:

  • Flood and swiftwater rescue

  • Maritime or offshore patient extrication

  • Helicopter hoist and boat-to-boat transfers

  • Fire, EMS, SAR, and military water rescue teams

The Sked® Foam Flotation System SK-600-OR is the perfect complement to your Sked® stretcher when operations extend into water environments—ensuring buoyant, stable patient transport wherever the mission leads.
