A securement device comprising:
- a primary bar;
- at least one extension bar located within and coaxial with the primary bar;
- a bladder assembly located within the primary bar and comprising a fluid chamber and a fluid reservoir;
- a rod assembly comprising a rod terminating in a seal at a first rod end and coupled to the at least one extension bar at a second rod end, the seal moveable within the fluid chamber;
- a pump assembly comprising:
- a pump body extending axially between a first end and a second end to define a centerline, the pump body defining a piston chamber terminating in the second end;
- a piston moveable within the piston chamber;
- a check valve located at the first end of the pump body, the check valve selectively fluidly coupling the piston chamber to the fluid chamber;
- and
- an inlet located at the first end of the pump body, the inlet fluidly coupling the fluid reservoir to the piston chamber, wherein the piston chamber further comprises a transfer conduit extending between the first end of the pump body and an aperture, a piston housing extending from the aperture to the second end of the pump body, wherein the piston is moveable through the aperture;
- wherein the inlet comprises a transfer conduit having a decreasing diameter with respect to the centerline and in a direction from the aperture toward the check valve.
