RIGLOO shelters protect victims and rescuers from the elements at the site of first treatment

The RIGLOO shelter is used for emergency care at the scene of accidents, as protection in emergency situations, during extended field care, during search and rescue operations, in medical emergencies, during recoveries on the roadside and much more.

In situations where on-site care takes longer or treatment and triage become difficult, the lightweight and quickly deployable RIGLOO shelters are valuable helpers. They shield patients and rescuers from unpredictable, adverse and unnecessary influences. Thanks to the removable floor, the RIGLOO shelters can be easily placed over victims and rescuers without the need to move the victim. Setting up a RIGLOO shelter typically takes about a minute and requires no additional tools except for the provided air pump.

What problem do RIGLOO shelters solve?

RIGLOO shelters are ideal for supporting patients during examination by first responders. They provide a protective and controllable environment that shields unwanted attention from passers-by and creates an immediate space for field care. In addition, RIGLOO provides protection from environmental factors.

By controlling the environment, RIGLOO can help reduce the number of patients with prehospital hypothermia (defined as core temperature below 36.0°C). This is particularly important for patients where the rescue process has been complex due to difficulty and prolonged rescue, infusion of cold resuscitation fluids, poor weather conditions, advanced age or critical health status.

RIGLOO prevents rescuers from having to resort to camping equipment or improvise a solution in emergency situations. RIGLOO designs shelters for first responders and rescue workers in virtually any situation. The goal is to provide supportive and professional tools in situations where quick and easy set-up and tear-down, privacy or visual protection, a physical barrier or another option for the incident commander is required.

By providing extensive control over the environment, RIGLOO thus plays its part in increasing the chances of rescue.
