Juin 2018

The Morphée kit (resuscitation module for patients with high evacuation elongation) is an exceptional and indispensable capacity to allow the French armed forces to intervene in all theaters of intervention. It is designed to equip the Boeing C135 tanker aircraft of the Air Force and can evacuate up to 12 wounded – including 4 to 6 under artificial ventilation – during a flight of ten hours non-stop. The medical team is composed of five doctors and eight nurses.
