Comments on: REFRA – Safety at Scenes http://protec.police-supplies.co.uk/protec-refra/ Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:26:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Paramedics & Friends Website http://protec.police-supplies.co.uk/protec-refra/comment-page-1/#comment-111 Paramedics & Friends Website Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:26:14 +0000 http://protec.police-supplies.co.uk/?p=70#comment-111 Review 1: Hi Admin my name is Bryan and I am a first responder in South Wales, I have used the REFRA 3 times now . It's great easy to use and convenient to carry , no need to worry about how the intercom works if this is used . It leaves you able to deal directly with the patient without distraction . I Failed once to apply, but this was due to an old entry door which was just too wide . I feel as a responder this could be invaluable as once we have applied it, the ambulance crew can gain access without having to wait for me to stop and allow access for them, which could mean having to stop CPR. All The Best Bryan . Review 2: My name is Steve and I am an EMT in the Vale of Glamorgan, we have a large number of premises in our area, usually flats, where there is a single entry door and off that can be a number of flats with their own entry doors. This piece of kit is so simple to look at, you would be forgiven for saying "what is all the fuss about, it's a bit of plastic, that's all", well this bit of plastic has been used on EVERY shift I have done since obtaining it, and it has allowed the next crew or service immediate access to the property without having to ring a bell and wait. Not only that it has proved very useful not just for following services/crews but for me and my partner, I have gone back to the vehicle to get stretcher / carry chair, but because of this door stop I no longer have broken pens, nor do i have to scout around for anything to shove in the door like a newspaper, as inevitably another occupant comes along and opens the door, drops whatever was wedging the door, and back to square one.... This simple piece of plastic is invaluable in our job and would recommend it to anyone. Steve H EMT Vale of Glamorgan Review 1:

However, we see this as a product for ALL Emergency Service Staff and we are capable of producing individual labels for the Refra but minimum orders do apply due to cost implications. Samples can be issued to procurement departments for Official enquiries. We will be developing a range of Refra products for general sale in the future.

Do they come in ambulance green?

With a little extra training on the refresher course we could use it to extend the "duty of care" plan. This would be ideal to ventilate scenes contaminated by incapacitant spray.

It is great, one of those bits of kit that once you start using it you just can't stop. Gives me that bit of reassurance that the door is always open as well. I picked one these up at the HOSDB show.
