Advantage? Speed!

More Speed When You Need It:

Most rescuers are familiar with the principles of the “Golden Hour” and the “Platinum Ten”. They say to increase the chance of saving an accident victim’s life you need to have them to a trauma center within an hour of the accident, and to support that goal you have ten minutes of extrication time. Time is of the essence!

Genesis’ Simo pumps with Overdrive give rescue personnel the ability to switch all the flow into one tool, thereby doubling the speed at which that tool operates. This gives the operator critical seconds when needed. We say “when needed” because with the Genesis push button control, you can still slow all that extra speed down to a crawl when delicate situations require it.
