FareTec RESPONDER Pelvic Binder, Compact Stabilization
The FareTec RESPONDER Pelvic Binder (OEM part number 8003004 Blue; PBM SKU FRT-8003004) is a compact, adjustable circumferential pelvic belt designed for rapid prehospital stabilization of suspected pelvic ring fractures. Vacuum-packed Cordura construction with Mil-Spec hook-and-loop and 2 in. nylon webbing packs small for trauma kits while remaining X-ray translucent for imaging without removal.1
Product Highlights:
- Field-ready pack: Vacuum-sealed approximately 8 x 9 x 1.3 in (20 x 23 x 4 cm) for trauma bags and vehicle kits.1
- Wide size range: About 53 in (134 cm) length; cut or fold to leave a 5 to 6 in gap; packaging lists hip circumference 25 to 75 in (Pedi to Adult).12
- Simple tensioning: Slide under the supine patient, center over the greater trochanters, engage hook-and-loop, then tighten both straps until snug (two fingers under the binder).2
- Durable materials: Cordura fabric, Mil-Spec hook-and-loop, and heavy-duty 2 in. nylon webbing.1
- X-ray translucent: Designed to stay in place through radiographic assessment when clinically appropriate.1
- Single-patient use: Disposable binder; reuse may reduce performance or increase infection risk. Typical temporary use window noted in IFU is up to 24 to 48 hours.2
- Traction-splint compatible: Integrates with FareTec CT-6 and CT-7 traction systems for concurrent femur and pelvic care per IFU guidance.12
- Quality system: FareTec lists FDA establishment #1528440, ISO 13485, and CE/MDR documentation for this line.13
Clinical and Operational Notes:
Intended use (manufacturer IFU): non-invasive circumferential pelvic belt to stabilize pelvic fractures during transport to definitive care. Indicated when a pelvic ring fracture is present or suspected and hemorrhage risk is a concern. Do not use if anatomical landmarks are absent, or when an isolated hip fracture is the working diagnosis.2
Place the binder over the greater trochanters (not the iliac crests). After tensioning, secure the Velcro safety flap. Do not remove the binder solely to swap devices if that would risk a sudden blood-pressure drop; retension if it loosens. Release compression at least every 12 hours (or per local protocol) for skin checks while maintaining manual stabilization.2
Follow local EMS/fire protocol and medical direction. Pacific Biomedical supplies FareTec RESPONDER products through authorized US distribution channels.
