Sarlat Hospital Center: inflatable tent, advanced medical post with captive air
We collaborated with the Sarlat Hospital Centre on the custom manufacturing of an inflatable PMA (advanced medical post) tent, an inflatable first aid shelter for emergencies.
It is a sealed, air-trapped inflatable structure, that is to say, inflated with an electric pump.
This is an inflatable medical shelter made entirely of single-skin 0.6 mm PVC, in white color.
