The IPC (Injured Personnel Carrier) came about when soldiers from one of the Israel Defense Forces' elite units found that by connecting four rifle slings together they could carry injured soldiers like a backpack, instead of the traditional fireman's carry. Agilite turned the concept into a product, incorporated built-in padding and several other features and now it's a more efficient alternative to the fireman's carry that keeps both hands free and is significantly more comfortable for both the carrier and evacuee.

The IPC folds to be just 10 inches long and weighs only 0.77 pounds. While the IPC was only invented earlier this year, it is already being supplied to Special Forces and other military and law enforcement units worldwide, including most recently the US Marines, Australian Armed Forces and others.
