The BODY FORCE is a composite board, measuring eighteen inches (18") long and eight inches (8") wide and seven-eighths inches (7/8") thick with a loose strap on one side that is two inches (2") wide and seventy inches (70") long. On the other side is a strap that is also two inches (2") wide but only six inches (6") long with a metal ratchet sewn into it. The straps are sewn into a three sixteenth inch (3/16") X fourinch (4") wide stainless steel hinges, with a non-removable pin. The hinges will be held down to the plate by a cam-lock that passes through the board in slots that enable it to be adjusted to several different sizes. There is also a long gated eyebolt that locks into the center of the board that is designed to be used as a bilateral tourniquet for the lower extremities.
