The North American Rescue RAVEN® Model 90C is the official litter of the U.S. Navy — a bi-fold, chemical-warfare-agent-tested, U.S. Air Force certified safe-to-fly stretcher with a 1,200 lb payload. Its antimicrobial-coated slip-resistant fabric, 2 IV attachment points, and broad DOD/civilian compatibility make it the benchmark military-grade litter for cross-capability deployment across homeland security, DoD, and maritime rescue environments.

Product Overview
When the U.S. Navy designates a single litter as its official standard, that decision reflects exhaustive evaluation across every performance dimension: payload capacity, chemical warfare agent resistance, integration with DoD medical treatment facilities and aircraft, durability for maritime storage, and compatibility with Navy and joint service MEDEVAC protocols. The RAVEN® Model 90C has earned and maintained this designation, serving as the most extensively validated military litter in the American inventory.
The 90C's fabric is a proprietary slip-resistant, chemical-resistant, rip-stop material with antimicrobial coating — tested and cleared by federal and private laboratories for performance in the presence of live chemical warfare agents. This NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) compatibility is a requirement for any litter that must function across the full spectrum of DoD operational environments. The antimicrobial coating supports long-term storage without biological degradation in confined spaces such as ship medical bays and forward operating bases.
The bi-fold design allows the 90 in. litter to store in a compact 45.5 × 7.5 × 8 in. footprint — fitting in dedicated litter carriers, shipboard storage racks, and vehicle medical bays. The 90C integrates with NAR's complete RAVEN® accessory ecosystem: IV poles, stretcher stands, backrest, and litter carrier systems. For bariatric or oversized patients, NAR's OSL Oversized Litter provides an identical bi-fold format with a wider patient surface and higher floor payload.
