Lezard Adjustable Lanyard

The Petzl LEZARD Adjustable Lanyard is the replacement adjustable arm for the LEZARD helivac lanyard, sold as a standalone spare part for rescue teams already equipped with a LEZARD.

The LEZARD itself is specialized equipment built for helicopter-based rescue at height: it secures the drop-off and recovery phases of a helivac operation, with an adjustable arm that can be instantly ejected to free the victim, rescuer, and helicopter if the aircraft needs to leave its stationary position suddenly. That adjustable arm is the part most exposed to wear during a rescue operation, and Petzl sells it separately so aerial and helicopter rescue teams can replace it without buying a complete new LEZARD. Because the LEZARD is specialized helivac equipment, Petzl requires training through Petzl or a certified body before use, and that applies to servicing the system with this replacement arm as well.
