ISC can now offer a complete range of standard and rescue figure 8s ranging in material, size, strength and weight to cover virtually every rescue or controlled lowering application. Built for heavy duty and specialist applications, the ‘Rescue 8' can perform a variety of functions in demanding circumstances.

Its large braking aperture allows for total friction control in lowering and the lower aperture is generous enough for connecting more than one karabiner. Carefully engineered ‘ears' prevent unwanted locking and allow ultimate control in braking and lowering . Recessed cartouches provide optimal strength at critical points.
