• A variable-friction descent control device for rescue systems and rappels
  
• Incorporates high efficiency pulley with an integral rope-locking mechanism (ratchet) for a haul system
  
• The built-in becket allows cleaner rigging and more efficient pulley systems 
  
• The MPD allows main line and belay line rigging to be mirror images of one another
  
• One device functions as both a lowering brake and as a ratcheting pulley for raising
  
• It's ideal for confined space operations because it converts rapidly to a retrieval line
  
• Meets BCCTR Rescue Belay Competency Criteria**

The CMC Multi-Purpose Device (MPD) features major innovations in advanced technical hardware for rope rescue professionals.

The MPD’s high-efficiency pulley, with an integral rope-grab mechanism, means it can be used as a lowering device on the main line and belay line systems and be quickly changed over to a raising system without switching out or replacing hardware. The combination of essential features into a single device simplifies on-scene rigging, expediting the rescue.

The revolutionary MPD increases user safety with: 

- Reduced Weight
- Fewer Components
- Faster Rigging
- Quick Changeovers
- Simplified Training
- Lower Risk
