What It Is
The TacMed™ Poleless Litter is a high-strength mesh evacuation platform designed for rapid casualty movement from high-risk areas. At 2.5 lb, it is light enough for every team member to carry one without meaningful weight allocation impact. The oversized handle loops support wrist-wrap grip for extended carries through smoke, debris, or rough terrain. The reinforced midsection provides extended durability under repeated loaded carry.

When to Choose the Poleless Litter
- Combat medics and squad-level soldiers who need a capable casualty extraction platform that can be carried by multiple team members simultaneously — at 2.5 lb it is light enough for every team member to carry one.
- SWAT and tactical rescue teams extracting casualties from confined spaces, stairwells, or vehicle interiors where a rigid pole litter cannot be maneuvered — the flexible mesh conforms to tight angles.
- Search and rescue and wilderness medicine teams who need a compact litter (folded 14 × 9 × 4 inches) that packs into an aid bag and deploys to 72 × 26 inches for patient transport.
- Fire rescue and EMS units staging a lightweight backup extraction platform in apparatus — the oversized handle loops support wrist-wrap carry through smoke and debris.
vs. The Alternatives
Poleless Litter vs. Phantom Litter: The Phantom Litter is an ultra-compact body-armor-mount option at 15 oz — designed for individual soldiers to carry personal CASEVAC capability inside their plate carrier. The Poleless Litter is a team-carry platform at 2.5 lb with a larger 72 × 26-inch open footprint and oversized handle loops — the right choice when you have multiple personnel for a carry and need more patient coverage area.
Poleless Litter vs. NATO rigid pole litter: A rigid NATO litter weighs approximately 15 lb, requires two specific people at fixed-height poles, and cannot fit through standard doorways without angling. The Poleless Litter weighs 2.5 lb, folds flat, and can be carried by any personnel at variable grip points.
Poleless Litter vs. improvised drag methods: Dragging a casualty by collar or drag handles risks head/neck injury. The Poleless Litter distributes load across a 72 × 26-inch mesh surface, provides wrist-wrap grip points, and protects the casualty from ground contact during movement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the carrying dimensions of the TacMed Poleless Litter?
A: Folded, the TacMed™ Poleless Litter measures 14 inches × 9 inches × 4 inches. Open, the litter extends to 72 inches × 26 inches, providing a full-length patient surface for average-adult casualties.
Q: How many people are needed to carry the Poleless Litter?
A: The TacMed™ Poleless Litter can be carried by two to four personnel using its oversized handle loops, which support wrist-wrap grip for extended carries or attachment to slings. Handle loops are positioned at both ends and along the sides.
Q: How does the reinforced midsection improve the Poleless Litter?
A: The midsection is reinforced to resist concentrated load stress at the patient's center of gravity — the heaviest point during carry. This extends the litter's service life and prevents the mesh from developing weak points under casualty weight during repeated field use.
