Paper Pak Industries says this about the Absorbent Patient Litter System:  "APLS Thermal Guard is a portable and disposable absorbent litter that exhibits thermal properties for patient warmth as well as absorbent qualities to contain blood and bodily fluids during the transportation of injured personnel. APLS Thermal Guard comes with APLS Head Guard, a detachable hood assembly that assists with warmth retention near the patient's head."

"APLS Thermal Guard can be used during transient transport, evacuation situations, or on top of stretchers and litters as an absorbent fluid barrier.
