Petzl Absorbica-Y Tie-Back

• Designed for progression on a vertical structure and when passing intermediate anchors
• TIE-BACK intermediate tie-back rings on the lanyard allow connection to very large structures, and in a rescue situation, these rings are easily accessible for the rescuer, even when the person is suspended on the lanyard after a fall
• Absorbs energy in the event of a fall:
  • Tearing of the energy absorber webbing limits the impact force on the user
  • Works with users who weigh between 50 and 140 kg (1)
  • Progressive tearing reduces the deceleration on lightweight users
• Minimal bulk:
  • Compact energy absorber facilitates handling
  • Elasticized arms to avoid hindering progression
• Durable fabric pouch with opening system at each end, protects the energy absorber from abrasion or contaminants while allowing for regular inspection of the absorber
• Two options for installation on the harness, depending on use:
  • Frequent connection/disconnection: using either a carabiner held in correct position by the STRING positioning accessory (included with the lanyard), or a MICRO SWIVEL to avoid tangling
  • Semi-permanent connection: using either a RING OPEN gated ring whose circular shape allows optimal positioning, or a SWIVEL OPEN to avoid tangling
• Available with or without connectors (two large-opening MGO connectors for connecting to metal structures and a Bm’D carabiner with CAPTIV positioning bar for connecting to harness)
