Description

Suspension Trauma Strap

Brand: YESBOSS
Model Type: Universal Post-Fall Relief Web Strap System

1. Product Overview

The YESBOSS Suspension Trauma Strap is a specially engineered post-fall safety accessory designed to minimize the risk of suspension trauma (orthostatic intolerance) while a worker is suspended in a fall-arrest harness. After a fall event, users may remain hanging for several minutes before rescue. This strap system provides a temporary standing support loop that allows suspended users to relieve pressure on the leg straps, restore blood circulation in the legs, and maintain a stable upright posture until rescue teams arrive.

This product is intended for use with full-body harnesses across various work-at-height industries including construction, maintenance, tower climbing, scaffolding, industrial inspection, and general fall protection operations.

2. Key Functional Features

Suspension Trauma Mitigation

• Designed to significantly reduce the onset of suspension trauma by allowing workers to stand up in the harness after a fall.

• Helps maintain healthy blood flow to lower extremities to prevent pooling of blood, dizziness, numbness, or fainting.

• Enables the suspended user to flex and move the leg muscles to counteract the harmful effects of prolonged immobility.

Pressure Relief System

• Releases pressure from groin and leg straps by providing an alternate weight-bearing point.

• Allows the user to adopt a more natural standing stance, improving comfort and increasing survival duration until rescue.

Rapid Deployment

• Easy-to-operate pull-tab activation for fast setup during emergency suspension situations.

• Automatically deploys from compact storage pouches on the harness.

• Adjustable loops allow quick stabilizing support without complex adjustments.

3. Construction & Materials

• Material: High-strength industrial webbing for long service life and dependable strength under load.

• Weight: Lightweight design ensures minimal added weight to the harness.

• Stitching: Reinforced thread patterns for durability and resistance to fraying or tearing.

• Attachment System: Dual-pouch configuration connects to both sides of the harness, enabling balanced load distribution.

4. Design Features

• Compact & Portable: Low-profile pouches remain unobtrusive during normal work and do not interfere with mobility.

• Multiple Loop Configuration: Adjustable height loops accommodate users of different body sizes and leg lengths.

• Universal Fit: Compatible with most ANSI/OSHA/EN standard full-body harness systems.

• Multiple Attachment Points: Offers flexibility in mounting positions depending on harness structure and user preference.

5. Installation & Deployment

Installation

• Easily attaches to existing harness webbing using integrated straps and secure hook-and-loop fasteners.

• Mounts at waist level for easy post-fall access.

Deployment Procedure

1. After fall arrest, the user reaches both trauma strap pouches.

2. Pull the deployment tabs to release the straps.

3. Connect the two straps using the central buckle (depending on model).

4. Adjust and step onto the formed loop.

5. Stand up within the loop to alleviate leg strap pressure.

Deployment typically takes less than 10 seconds with basic training.
