The new STS-C is among 10 innovative new products for emergency medical services and prehospital care

Leland NC, February 24, 2020 — Rescue Essentials and JEMS (Journal of Emergency Medical Services) are proud to announce the selection of the Slishman Traction Splint Compact as a Hot Product at the EMS Today Conference & Exposition, held March 2-6, in Tampa, FL.

The Slishman Traction Splint Compact, (STS-C) was selected after a panel of judges consisting of emergency medical services (EMS) product specialists, physicians, educators, administrators and paramedics reviewed a host of product contenders designed to not only improve the ability to deliver optimal emergency medical care to sick and injured patients, but also allow EMS agencies to do it more innovatively, safely, efficiently and with enhanced comfort for patients.

Products were evaluated based on four distinct categories: 1) Originality; 2) Functionality; 3) Ease of use; and 4) Need in the EMS setting. The STS-C was one of only 10 products selected as Hot Products after the EMS Today Hot Products review team reviewed and rated dozens of products submitted by a number of companies.

JEMS Executive Editor and EMS Today Education Director Mike McEvoy said: “The submissions this year included some truly innovative and out of the box products that will serve EMS providers and their patients well. Some of the Hot Products selected represent a new era in use of technology for EMS that will change the way care is delivered in the streets. Clearly, user input had significant impact on design and development, as it should.”
