PETZL ABSORBICA

ABSORBICA is a compact energy absorber, for use in combination with a JANE lanyard to make a fall arrest lanyard. Equipped with tear-webbing inside a zippered fabric pouch, the energy absorber is protected from abrasion while allowing for regular inspection. It has two options for installation on the harness according to the frequency of manipulation.

• Designed for use in combination with a JANE lanyard to make a fall arrest lanyard with a maximum length of two meters
  
• Absorbs energy in case of a fall:
  - tearing of the energy absorber webbing limits the impact force on the user
  - works with users who weigh between 50 and 130 kg
  - progressive tearing reduces the deceleration on lightweight users
  
• Minimal bulk: compact to facilitate handling
  
• Abrasion resistance:
  - durable zippered fabric pouch protects the energy absorber from abrasion or contaminants while allowing for regular inspection of the absorber
  - pouch reduces the risk of cuts and potential severing over edges
  
• Two options for installation on the harness, depending on use:
  - frequent connection/disconnection: with a carabiner held in correct position by the STRING (included with the absorber) or with a MICRO SWIVEL to avoid tangling
  - semi-permanent connection: with a RING OPEN whose circular shape ensures optimal positioning, or with a SWIVEL OPEN to avoid tangling
