The Vita Rescue System is lightweight and simple to attach, affording helicopter rescue teams greater speed, levels of safety and control over hoisting operations in challenging conditions. It allows the completion of rescue hoists on average up to four times faster than when using taglines. The Vita Rescue System enables the user to fly the basket off axis beneath the helicopter to conduct precision insertions and navigate any obstacles that may stand in the way of a safe extraction.

Operational Envelope: The swing stabilisation feature acts as an active swing dampening solution. Typical swing stabilisation for an empty rescue kit is 1.5 swing periods. Stabilisation time varies based on cable length, patient weight, and environmental disturbances.
