Pediatric immobilization board is for use in the emergency treatment of pediatric accident victims. Pediatric Immobilization Board allows easy immobilization of infants and children with spinal injuries.
The immobilization device includes a rigid support panel covered by a washable fabric covering to which strategically located restraining straps, and shoulder harnesses are interconnected. The immobilization apparatus can be used alone or in conjunction with a widely used prior art adult splint and litter device of special configuration.
The heavy-duty nylon cover is durable and will withstand harsh field treatment. The special harness system is integral to the device. It allows easy manipulation of the patient for the proper airway management and radiological procedures. When a patient is positioned, the spine is functionally maintained in an aligned static position. The leg straps are designed for the immobilization of each leg separately for treatment.
