New generation of lightweight portable emergency rescue cutters for freeing accident victims from wreckage
Hi-Shear Technology Corporation of Torrance along with NASA helped develop
Lifeshears
in 1994, a type of cutting equipment that comes in handy during emergency and rescue situations
The LS 200 has a 1 to 1-1/2 inch opening, is 21 inches long and weighs about 8 pounds. The tools take only about 30 seconds to set up and they require no pumps or hoses; they can sever automotive clutch and brake pedals or cut quickly through roof posts and pillars to remove the roof of an automobile. They provide a bonus to fire fighters and rescue personnel in that they reduce the probability of lower back injuries that occur with the use of hydraulically-powered equipment.
The invention's strengths draw from its reduced cost, weight and noise -- all of which place less stress on victims and rescuers when compared to large hydraulics and hoses required for previous operations. Instead, these shears are "pyrotechnically-actuated," meaning they draw a charge from a pyrotechnic reaction within the device's cartridge. It's the same concept NASA uses to separate shuttles from their booster rockets midair, except on a smaller scale.
Lifeshears have helped search-and-rescue teams save individuals trapped in wrecked cars or collapsed buildings. The invention loosened victims from dangerous debris immediately following
a disaster or emergency.
