Polyurethane MAST pants remain flexible even after long storage in the ambulance

Medical Anti-Shock Trousers made from radio-frequency-sealed urethane film are used to stabilize accident victims. Stevens Urethane remains flexible in temperatures as low as -65°F, is impervious to chemicals and other fluids often present at an accident scene, and has a long shelf life. The transparent urethane also allows continuous visual inspection of injuries.
