The Prism™ descender is a completely new product which offers great
functionality to rope access workers. It contains two new patented
principles; a mechanism which multiplies the braking force applied by
the user providing fine control, and a new design of a secondary brake
which minimizes the possibility of uncontrolled descent. An additional
capability of this device is the ability to unthread the secondary
braking system, which allows the rope to be easily pulled back through
the device during short ascents.
Key Features:
- Double-breaking mechanism will stop if released or panic squeezed
- Parts visible for easy inspection and maintenance
- Designed for rope diameters between 10.5 mm and 11.5 mm
- High strength aluminum with stainless steel friction surfaces
- Patented variable friction design eliminates the need for a 2nd carabiner
- User can switch between configurations under load
