Static-Pro Lifeline
An extremely low-stretch kernmantle rescue lifeline constructed of 100% High Tenacity Polyester (HTP) fiber. The polyester fibers do not absorb water, so there is no loss of strength or increase in weight if the rope gets wet. With less than 2% stretch at 300 lbf, Static-Pro is an excellent choice for high lines, long rappels, and many mechanical advantage haul systems. Polyester fiber ropes have better resistance to acids than nylon, which makes Static-Pro the preferred choice in acidic environments. Favored for its excellent hand, knotability and UV resistance, Static-Pro Lifelines come in solid colors with a single stripe to prevent confusion with CMC Lifeline and other solid color kernmantle ropes.
*Rope is sold by the foot. Please contact customer support for maximum length available.
Flat Web
We’ve been using our one-inch flat web in our rescue classes for several years and it’s proven to be an excellent performer. While not all flat webs will hold knots securely, the CMC Rescue Flat Webbing has been specifically selected for the suppleness necessary to allow knots to be set securely. Flat web also tends to be easier to untie after a heavy load than the softer tubular web. While the flat web is bulkier than the tubular, it does provide a significantly higher strength. Available by the foot or roll.
NOTE Industry standards allow for up to three sections per roll.
Tubular Webbing
Mil-Spec Needle Loom Nylon Web
After thorough investigation, which included reviewing web construction, manufacturer’s tests, and performing our own field evaluations, it has been determined that the mil-spec needle loom web we now offer is comparable in strength and abrasion resistance to the previous-generation shuttle loom (spiral weave) web.
All one-inch web is sold by the foot, with a maximum spool length of 300′.
Our red #200203 two-inch web is sold by the 150′ (50-yard) spool.
Note: Military standards allow for up to three sections per spool.
AZ Bound-Loop Prusiks
Years of development, testing and fine tuning has made our Prusik cord a preferred choice by rescue schools, agencies and rescuers alike. Our sewn Prusiks offer unmatched performance—with strength equivalent to a tied Prusik loop, just without the cumbersome knot. The factory-sewn SecureStitch is covered with durable clear shrink tubing that allows regular inspection and helps protect the stitching for longer life. Some rescuers prefer a bound-loop style Prusik for cinching the attachment bight around the carabiner to help snug the Prusik to the connector. Our AZ Bound-Loop Prusiks are identical to our Sewn Loop Prusiks except that the shrink tube captures both sides of the loop while allowing adjustment.
Sewn-Loop Prusiks
Years of development, testing and fine tuning has made our Prusik cord a preferred choice by rescue schools, agencies and rescuers alike. Our Sewn-Loop Prusiks offer unmatched performance—with strength equivalent to a tied Prusik loop, just without the cumbersome knot.

Anchor Plate
A Classic CMC Innovation
A CMC original design that has withstood the test of time, our Anchor Plates keep the carabiners holding the different parts of your rescue system from jamming together. The hardware becomes easier to see, making safety checks more accurate. It can also keep you from clipping a carabiner into the wrong loop of the anchor web. For anchor systems, it makes an excellent collection point. We use the Anchor Plate in CMC Rope Rescue classes, which allows our students to set up systems faster with fewer mistakes. Hole diameters: small – 7/8 in (22 mm), large – 2 in (51 mm).
Micro-Anchor Plate
When weight and size are an issue, such as in mountain rescue and special operations packs, river rescue gear bags, or rope access work, the ultra-compact, light, anodized aluminum Micro-Anchor Plate is the right choice. The large hole acts as a collection point for multi-point anchors. The small holes keep carabiners separated, making them easier to work with when the system is loaded, and the oblong shape makes inserting carabiners easier and quicker. Hole diameters: small – 5/8 in (16 mm), large – 1 in (25 mm).
Anchor Strap
Anchor straps have a tough job, and see a lot of wear and tear. Over the years, we’ve learned that cuts and abrasion are the greatest threats to their safety and service life. To dramatically increase both, our Anchor Straps now feature two layers of the same durable mil-spec, resin-coated nylon web. Sewn by our highly skilled workers who make our rescue harnesses, our Anchor Straps feature forged steel D-rings individually proof loaded and sized for easy choker (girth-hitch) configuration when desired. Sewn-on web keeper allows for improved organization when stowed. Use our sized Anchor Strap Sleeves for added edge and abrasion protection.
Note: We recommend using a Delta Quick Link connector (part #382121) to prevent possible tri-axile loading of a carabiner when used in a basket configuration.
Cobra-D Uniform Rappel Belt
Designed for Emergency Rappel
In a class by itself, CMC Rescue offers the only NFPA Certified Uniform Rappel Belt available. Designed for everyday wear but with the performance needed for an emergency rappel or belay. Standard uniform wear for fire fighters, search and rescue, and SWAT personnel, the belt is constructed to the same exacting standards as our harness line and is the only certified uniform belt available. The belt uses 1-3/4” web that fastens securely without requiring any hook-and-loop material. The AustriAlpin D-ring COBRA® buckle is manufactured from 7075 aluminum alloy and features a built-in stainless steel D-ring (Buckle:18 kN / 4,000 lbf MBS, D-ring: 22 kN / 5,000 lbf MBS, straight pull). The buckle requires a two finger release and will not open when loaded. Included web keeper secures excess web at tail end of belt. Adjustable, one size fits most.
