- The Tetcon Bodypod Removal Device is a super interesting newer item which can be used by funeral homes to bring the deceased from the place of death. With many features and a new approach to mobility, the device was fun to try out! Check out the overview and me putting it into action with my family! Again, thank you to my mom for being the "deceased" for the day :)
The Bodypod Transfer Mat is available in the USA.

BIG SHOUT OUT to Kari's Mom👍🙂
Yeah Wynne!!
She was a very good sport!!♡
She was almost “too good” at what she was doing. Lol
@@KaritheMortician who was the guy helping you? He needs some credit also? Maybe a brother/brother-in-law?
And the award goes to....Kari's Mom🥳🥳🥳👍
Yes!!
Mom you are a TRUE sport!
You wouldn’t catch me in there!
Your mom is cool🤟
My daughter is in mortuary school and I share your videos with her. Ty for sharing information on this taboo subject. Lol
So nice of you
When my father in law died, I held off watching this video. He was buried today. Makes me wonder if they used something like this, to remove his body.
So sorry for the late response and big hugs to you!
Hello to Kari’s Mother.
:)
I seen something like that but it looks like it was made out of a heavy duty plastic and rolled up
THere are some versions sort of like this
Your mom is such a good sport. I would have been giggling too much to complete it 😂
She was great!
Also I love how you told your mom happy mother's day while she was in the pod! She seems so sweet! I guess now we know where you get your sweetness!
Oh thank you!
I say the sane thing :)
Not every home is “cot friendly “ and people aren’t getting any lighter, so the haters need to get over it.
Very true
You must in some way resemble that remark.
I love that your mom kept her eyes closed the whole time!.... I think she deserves a prize!
:)
We used similar device called a SKED Rescue device on the fire department. Mainly for confined space rescue but great for tight areas where a cot or stair chair was difficult or unwieldy. Ours was a rigid hard plastic sled type that unrolled and wrapped around the body and victim was strapped in. Could remove person in any position including vertical while maintaining spinal protocol.
That is great
Thank you for the info!
I too agree, Vern. I work in Armed Security where I operate as a lone officer and two of my contacts are between 7-10 stories high and in regards of transport, I love the cushioned mattress and soft head restraint to stabilize the patient and the various strap locations and added versatility during rescue/emergency evac scenarios so I'm able to lift the patients' upper body to protect their head/neck when descending stairwells.
The concept of the bag is a pretty good idea.
Thanks!
Mom's a trouper-Academy Award performance! Good video.
Yes! Thank you!
Moving a decedent is very similar to moving one of a kind priceless furniture. A cot weighs approx. 100 lbs, the pod should weigh no more than 10. Tight turns & stairs have always been a challenge & I have walked out of houses after making such removals dressed in shirt, tie & suit drenched in sweat. Great product if FH's are willing to buy them. Great mom for being your model during the production.
Very true
Go Aunt Wynne!!! 😁
She was a trooper!!
Hi so this looks like it was made by a disability enterprise as well. So it's a bonus to support ethical business as well.
Your mom was a trooper! 🤗 LOL “Happy Mother’s Day” I’ve witnessed a close family member being carried out in a body bag and this device would have made me feel better than seeing the actual body bag. It looks sturdy and protects the deceased from being jumbled around. It’s also nice that you can leave the face uncovered. I’m sure that makes it a bit easier for the family.
She is the best!
Love the sarcophagus in the corner there! Your mum is awesome for helping you demonstrate this new device 👍🏻
Thanks so much
In EMS, we have a Reeve's Sleeve. Basically the same thing. Meant for the living, has been used on the dead. So you should be able to use your body pod. I've had to do many questionable things to extract people from houses. For bodies, we would often use those black 6 handle body bags and pull them out. BTW your Mom is a gem.
:)
Kari's mom is such a good sport. There's nothing I could do to get my mom to agree to use her. Looks like a durable transfer, easy to carry w/you anywhere vs the cot. Thanks, have a great weekend all!
Thank you!!
The things moms will do for their kids!!!!!! Great job mom, you are a real trouper.
So true!
What an interesting device. I (and my back) wish we had one when I was working at the FH. Home removals always worried me when we got in a situation that was not cot friendly. An enjoyable video, as always!
Thanks for sharing
Hi, I am from North Carolina. I hope you can answer this for me. My husband died in 1987 and he was brought home. That's what we both wanted. I was checking him out and I seen something on the right side of his neck. It look like a lump, so I rub it and it look like wood puty. It came off his neck and there was a hole in his neck. I would love to know why and also what was that stuff. I put it back in the hole and put make up on his neck.
That is where they made the incision for the embalming most likely and covered it in a wax rather than just sealing the incision and covering with a ashirt
Hi Kari! Pretty much a whole lifetime ago I was an active member of a volunteer fire department rescue squad. On occasion, we would be asked by a doctor or family member to do a removal. In tight spaces, and we had many a house with small stair ways and landings. We used a Reeves stretcher. At the time ('70's-80's) it was two thick pieces of canvas, usually aluminized, with long wood stringers sandwiched in between. It was great as we also used it for patient immobilization. I know the Reeves company is still around and making stretchers. Have you used a Reeves before?
Thank you
Great and informative video Kari. 'Lifetime' award for your mum. I like all your videos but really feel videos like these , seeing your roles explained and demonstrated practically really brings something extra to your channel. Obviously nothing should be demonstrated using a real deceased so hopefully your friends and family may volunteer more often to help you in similar content.
Yes!!
TOTALLY LOVING the body pod. I work in the Armed Security industry and recently tested and ordered one of these myself for usage during rescue/building emergency evacuation scenarios where safe transport and stabilizing any injured personnel is key. I have two security contracts that are between 7 and 10 stories high and also love the sense of control that I have and the cushioned mattress to help mitigate against and avoid exacerbating any possible head/neck or spinal injury since I'm always the first responder and have to quickly descend multiple flights of stairs and the multiple straps allows me the needed leverage and control to navigate tight hallways or corridors that'd been otherwise difficult or risky and with it's thick material, it's great to help keep the patient dry and keep them warm if they should go into shock.
Thanks
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Way to go mom! I wanted to see this in action and you delivered! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you so much!!
That device would be helpful for other businesses too! This would work for evacuating living people unable to walk from hospitals.
Yes they have a whole line of things for medical
The things our Mammies do for us! Your mum is far too sweet Kari. Little face peeking out from the pod, bless her ❤❤
Thanks so much
This is so cool getting your mum n dad's support. Three cheers for Kari! Thank you 😊💓
Thanks!
That was a cool video.
Thanks!
Your mom gets the “Playing Dead “ Oscar award 2021. 🤩
Yes she does!
Oh im sorry I miss spoke. The body pod not bag sorry
:)
Looks like it was designed for EMS, and body removal is secondary.
Same elements all the way around
Yes they have medical ones also
High end ultra light backpacking tents are made from the same material. It's tough stuff, great video Kari, your mom is awesome.
Thank you!
Also great for pulling your drunken mate home
True lol
Oh , the things Mom’s will do for their kids!!
So true!!
Kari i get a hoot out of your comments
Thanks :)
Good idea to practice. That was very nice of you to donate the pod. That would have come in handy for my aunts removal. We had to take off the porch railing and lower her vertically like standing up. It took the 2 funeral home employee's and my dad and husband. I enjoy all your videos. And thanks to your mom for the demo.
Thank you!
Honestly, I don't see any advantage of this over a med-sled. Then again I am used to the sheet method so. Also, god bless your family, they say those who work in this field have family who weather anything.
On the topic of medsled you might wanna look into that, it has a stairway control strap that keeps people from having to hold the while weight like that on the entire descent, tho it is less flexible.
Thanks for sharing
Hey Mum, early present! But bless your Mum for being a good sport 👏👏 But very similar to a device used by ambulance staff to move people from their homes
So true!
Omg!! Your mom is such a great lady. I can see why you are such a great lady!! You also get your beautiful looks from mom! Thank you for this video. Do you use the same bag again ...or one time for each body?
Thank you so much!
Favorite video of the year!!! This is such an informative video on new equipment and I can see how useful it could be to more than just funeral homes.
Thanks Tiffany!
What if the decedent is morbid obese? What device is needed?
Possibly one that they create just for the situation and a cot
Hi Steven - you can use the Bodypod up to 441 lbs - we are working on a Bodypod that can withstand more weight, however, we obviously want to promote safe manual handling and prevent injuries to muscles and joints =) Hope this helps!
There will come a time, sadly, when knocking down a wall will be the only safe solution
Your Mom is a good sport That is a first a LIVE review on the comfort inside a body removal device You are great and i love your channel
SHe is!
Mom is such a trooper! Good for her! I'd have freaked out once we got to the stairs if I was in that device (assuming I was testing it while living, of course).
Yes she is!!
This device is a Godsend! Ive encountered some very sticky situations using cots in close quarters with narrow turns. I think this device is wonderful and look forward to seeing more funeral home use it.
Your mom was a great sport! Very nice seeing you actually use the device. Thanks so much for sharing this!
:) You are welcome
Just curious, it seems that in any trade, trade equipment is exorbitantly expensive. How does this rate on a 1-10 scale with 10 being the high end?
I would say a 4
Please report back after you have actually used it for several removals. I am not doubting, just curious about a report after actual use.
Okay
You are a good sport, Mom! I love the quilt folded at the bottom of the bed. Did you make it?
Thanks! SHe did
This was so interesting but mom is going to expect this kind of service when she wants to come downstairs now. LOL!
lol
Looks like it needs another strap in-between the lowest strap closest to the device and the next one, with the way you're having to lift. Interesting device though!
Thank you
Kari, Next time you need a Dummy, I’d be happy to let you drag me down your Stairs….LOL. Bmore Mike. Kari , you are a sick puppy….Mom she owe you a girls night out……..Big Time!!!!!!!!!! I want to see the Video of the Night Out….on a blog real soon…. I don’t know how much a removal cost in Minnesota but I think between $300-$500 should cover your little Ski Trip…..
Yes!!
the things mother's don't do for there kids lol
SO true!!
The kid in the backround not grandma 🤣
Right lol
All of a sudden the song plays "The things we do for love"...Like walking in the rain and the snow and you're slid down the stairs..... You are brilliant. Keep doing what you are doing. This is a brilliant tool and now I need to find out if this is being used in the UK. I'm still quite new in the scheme of things in the industry. XOXO Thank you!
lol so perfect
Bless your sweet mother. My mother would do that for me too.
I just had to laugh she wasn’t helping either, more reality
I was an EMT so I really liked this device.
Great videos! You’re very sweet..
Thanks so much for watching and sharing.
Great Demonstration.!! Very neat device! Wish they would have had something like this when my mom passed away 25 years ago. They carried her out of the bedroom like a mummy. At 12 watching that was kind of uncomfortable! This would have made it some much easier! oh yeah.. and that music in this video makes me want to dance!!
Thank you!!
Your Mom is such a trooper...
I love her. 😘
Kari your videos are so informative, I love watching them. You take away the mystery and make it plain for all to see. Thanks, we appreciate you. ❤
She is wonderful!
Your mom did so good. I watched this because the funeral home that picked up my father in law's body dropped him going from a small bedroom in a mobile home, by a washing machine down a narrow hallway. They just wrapped him up tight in the bedsheet he was lying on. By the way, tell us about ol'King tut standing back in the room in the corner behind you.
She was great!
I love it! your mom is a trooper. :)
Yes she is!!
Kari, Great device. You might suggest to the company about putting straps inside the pod to put between the deceased legs to help with the slipping. The slipping might be a lot for the person at the foot end to handle.
Nice idea
Your mother is a REALLY good sport! This was a fascinating video. If I didn't know better I'd have thought she was an actual corpse.... great acting!
Yes she is!!
Brava Kari's Mum! I'm pleased to see that you uncovered her face to allow her to breathe after showing us the body pod in its fully closed state.
Thank you!
I’ve never heard of Dyneema until today. Great video Kari! Looks pretty user friendly. Lol Your mom is a great sport! 😄
Yes she is!
my house is similar (the stairs in the middle of the house) far less space at the top & bottom of the steps. We had to use a body bag for my dad, we set up the cot in the living room.
Thank you
Your mom did an awesome job at acting like a deceased body. People are inclined to try to be super stiff or "helpful" when playing a dead person but she was nice and floppy like a real deceased person.
Thanks!
I observed on the container that the maximum weight is 440lbs. How would you remove a body if the person was obsese?
Each situation is different and it can be very tricky and take some creative methods
It's a shame you won't be getting any actual feddback from the users. I'm sure they could help you, if they could!
:)
I have no idea how you did this without laughing! Your mom is fantastic.
I did when I was interviewing her lol
Good morning Kari , Kari's mother and everyone . Have impeccable days ahead . Be safe and always blessed ☕
Hello friend!
Even if my mom was playing “dead” I’d be bawling but I don’t work in the funeral industry that probably changes your outlook on so many things but my mom is my best friend I don’t think I will be able to face it honestly I don’t know how I will and I know I’m going to have to even typing this I’m tearing up and I have brain cancer and she’s healthy so I’ll probably go before her
Hey Kari, was the "body bag" your idea? Looks like something you'd come up with!
Painttecitypink Sending love and positive vibes your way! ♥️
:)
@@debbie4503 thanks!
@@KaritheMortician I love your videos! What you do is so selfless thank you!
Kari, you could have had the removal team help. Just offer them cocktails and food along with fifteen minutes of fame.
So true!!
Your mom is adorable.☺️
Thanks!
Yay for Mom. What a good sport.
Yes she is!
I think this is great. Have been at home care expected death call in older homes in New England, narrow doors and staircases, with snow and ice leading to the door. This looks so much more gentle and safer for all involved. One thing about about your parents, have you thought of aging in place and accommodating mobility needs in the future while still alive? Walkers and wheelchairs need wider doorways and turn around space. (don't get me started on bathroom access). Your mom is such a good sport, what a lovely lady.❤
Yes we have thank you
"Happy mothers day" 🙈😂 I love seeing a sense of humor in this industry. Makes my day .
Thanks!
Did not like this and would not want it used on me or my loved one. To me it's to floppy not sturdy.
No thank you.
Thank you for that input
Your mom is a champ! That seemed interesting. Thanks for reviewing.
She is!!
Ty Kari's family..I love u Kari i learned alot from u 😘😘
You are so welcome
and the Oscar goes to …. Kari’s mom for best supporting actress!!!!
Yes!!
Thanks, mom! Is mom a quilter? ♥️
Yes she is!
@@KaritheMortician We quilters are good people! ♥️
Did you clear out your living room for the demo? Who paid for the device?
No that is the living space
A big thank you to your parents in demonstrating how this device work.
Thank you!
I wondered if they made the mats for emergency personnel. This kind of reminded me of a flexible hammock that I was carried on out of my house after surgery on my foot because my pain was poorly controlled.
Yes they do
I love the videos. My mom, dad & son died & (not at the same time)when they came to pick them up they were so gentle & put a sheet over the bag which was a comfort for me.
Thank you
I’m glad you didn’t drop your mama down the stairs. That would have been awkward.
We were very careful
Kuddos to your mom for doing that for you. It would have creeped me out.
:) she is great
Ur mother is a good sport. I'm glad ur parents are still with us👍🏽
Yes she is!!
Momma is such a good support!!! And you two look alike!!!
Yes we do!!
I would have been giggling sooooooooo much. 🙏👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
lol
For me: Think smarter....when feeding myself!
:)
God bless that woman. Thank you for the demonstration
Thanks!
Use top strap over shoulders and lift with back and legs.use next level strap with arms to control movement and also help to lift .
Thank you
Lol!! Yes! Your mom is cool for volunteering! 😎😎😎
Thank you!
Awesome video
Thanks!
Thanks mom
Welcome
looks like the foam that goes inside makes it a smidgeon more supportive but for sure what a great thing that you donated the product, looks like as with any new devise in any field, practice using it is essential.
I think so too!
Awww , Poor Mom ! She’s so precious ❤️
Thank you
If your sliding her isnt her head banging on the stairs
No it is controlled
