Spine Board
FirstMed offers the ultimate in first-responder ergonomics and is engineered for patient comfort and safety.
Even without injuries, patients strapped to un-padded spineboards (or poorly padded spineboards) can suffer excruciating pain and injury when their shoulder blades, hipbones and other bony prominences lose circulation, sometimes in just 10 minutes. The FirstMed spineboard's unique integrated padding reduces pressure sores, improving comfort for the immobilized patient.
FirstMed spineboard's integrated intravenous pole easily folds and stores in a zippered bag under the handholds
FirstMed spineboard is wider and stiffer to accommodate an increasingly obese population difficult to transport on standard spineboards
FirstMed spineboard's continuously concave bottom and uniquely splayed runners provide optimal X-ray clarity - no slots, bends or rods in the X-ray field
Custom graphics available - permanently molded into the spineboard
FirstMed is CT scan compatible
6 extra-wide, raised, ergonomic handholds for gloved hands
FirstMed spineboard has multiple strap holes - available with or without 6+6 speed clip pins
