Paraclete Aviation Life Support has announced its further expansion into the helicopter emergency management service [HEMS] industry as its customer base continues to request rotor- and fixed-wing helmets from the growing civilian aviation manufacturer. Since the company’s inception in 2014, Paraclete Aviation Life Support has strategically focused on building a foundation of air-medical corporate clients, which has grown to 18 representing 49 states.

As a member of the Association of Air Medical Services [AAMS] , Paraclete’s core tenets of comfort, safety and innovation, directly aligns with the AAMS mission. The two highest priorities of a HEMS/EMS crew are patient care and safety of the transport environment. As a rotor pilot, Paraclete President and founder Scott Hedges knows the focus of the HEMS crew needs to be on the patient, without distraction, while maintaining a safe environment. Hedges’ focus is on keeping the crew safe with respect to helmets that are also comfortable and innovative.

“Helmets need to be comfortable, but not at the expense of safety,” said Hedges. “Safety isn’t a comfort feature on a helmet; safety is a culture. The helmet is part of the crews’ uniform which has to function properly to the point of comfort. When you’re in that realm, it’s going to be safe.”

Maintaining safety during the Covid-19 pandemic escalated to a new level, thus increasing the demands on the HEMS industry professionals. Paraclete Aviation Life Support would like to thank all of the HEMS crews for their tireless dedication to ensuring the safety, health and protection of the many patients in their charge. Paraclete is equally committed to the safety and protection through our continuous innovations through the evidence-based research science and technology.
