Savior's Arm to Rescue More People

Free Firefighter's Hands

In fire emergencies, firefighters not only risk their lives to save people but also struggle to locate and rescue those in need. However, their ability to perform these tasks is hindered by the fact that they cannot use both hands while rescuing individuals. This puts both the firefighters and the rescued individuals in danger. Recognizing this problem, Ceasar - Hyongho Park designed Savior's Arm to address this critical issue.

Savior's Arm is a revolutionary device that frees firefighters' hands, enabling them to rescue individuals while simultaneously protecting them. By providing firefighters with the ability to use both hands during rescue operations, Savior's Arm enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of the rescue process.

The main body frame of Savior's Arm is made of black-colored aluminum, ensuring durability and strength. The top of the main frame is covered with thick fire-proof cotton, which not only provides comfort to the rescued individuals but also offers maximum protection. Additionally, a yellow-colored light-reflecting plate is placed at the front side of the main frame, enhancing visibility in low-light conditions.

Measuring 450mm x 400mm x 70mm, the main body frame of Savior's Arm provides a sturdy foundation for the device. The fire-proof cotton, measuring 350mm x 150mm x 5mm, offers optimal comfort and protection. The light-reflecting plate, measuring 450mm x 400mm x 1mm, ensures visibility and safety.

Operating Savior's Arm is simple and intuitive. When firefighters locate a person in need of rescue, they lift the person up and use their ankle to touch the holder, which opens the Savior's Arm. Once opened, the rescued individual can be placed on the arm, and the firefighter can use both arms freely to protect and secure the person.

The design and functionality of Savior's Arm were meticulously researched and developed. The team studied human anatomy to determine the optimal placement of the holder and ensure the comfort of the rescued individuals. The side of the main frame that touches the firefighter's pelvic bone was designed to conform to its shape, providing additional comfort and stability.

Designing Savior's Arm presented several challenges, with the most significant being determining the proper length of the main body frame. Ensuring a perfect fit for both the rescuer and the rescued individual was crucial to avoid any discomfort or accidents during emergency situations. Through extensive research and testing, the team successfully overcame this challenge, resulting in a design that prioritizes both functionality and user comfort.

Savior's Arm has garnered recognition and acclaim within the design community. In 2016, it was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Safety Clothing and Personal Protective Equipment Design category. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate innovation, practicality, and adherence to professional and industrial requirements. Savior's Arm's integration of industry best practices and its competent technical characteristics contribute to a safer world.

Savior's Arm, designed by Ceasar - Hyongho Park, is a game-changer in the field of firefighting. By allowing firefighters to use both hands freely during rescue operations, it enhances efficiency, safety, and the number of lives that can be saved. With its unique design and focus on protecting both the rescuer and the rescued, Savior's Arm is a testament to the power of innovation in improving and saving lives.
