The Dromex Suspension Intolerance Strap (DFA-STS01) is a critical fall protection accessory designed to reduce the risk of suspension trauma following a fall arrest incident. When a worker remains suspended in a harness after a fall, restricted blood circulation can quickly lead to serious medical complications. This strap provides immediate support by allowing the user to relieve pressure and improve circulation while awaiting rescue.

Designed for compatibility with most full-body safety harnesses, the strap is lightweight, compact, and unobtrusive during normal work activities. In an emergency, it can be quickly deployed to create a standing loop, enabling the suspended worker to stand upright in their harness.

By reducing pressure on the legs and promoting blood flow, the DFA-STS01 significantly lowers the risk of suspension trauma during rescue procedures. It is an essential component of any compliant fall arrest and working-at-heights safety system.

Key Features

• Reduces risk of suspension trauma after a fall

• Lightweight and compact design
• Quick and easy emergency deployment
• Durable webbing construction
