Rescue Star

A new revolutionary safety system is born: the Rescue Star®. Manufactured by RLS Rettungstechnologie GmbH – Germany, this new marine safety solution is used for the rescue in a horizontal body position of injured people in water.

It is especially designed for the rescue of shipwrecked people during bad weather conditions and heavy sea state, where any use of the rescue boat itself means a high risk to life and to the boat crew.

Models

The Rescue Star® is available in three aluminium models and a different one made of stainless steel. All three aluminium models are wrapped in a PVC tube, which can also be used as a storage tool for the rescue system. The stainless steel model, similarly, is wrapped in a galvanized steel tube that serves again as a stow tool for the system.
