Norway's heavy duty 330 squadron choose LESS for being lightweight
Within air ambulance services, weight is a critical issue. When Norway's 330 squadron wanted to reduce their overall weight in their helicopters, heavy rescue gear was removed and replaced with LESS Light Emergency Stretcher System. A new backrest is being developed in order to make LESS stretchers suitable in all conditions.
