ABSTRACT:
A spineboard for immobilizing a prostrate patient comprises a body supporting board having a body restraint harness which consists of two lengths of flexible material each having a proximal end retained on the board at or adjacent the center of the width thereof. Each length of the harness has a sufficient extent to extend from the proximal end in a first direction around to the body of the patient to be secured to the board adjacent a side edge of the board remote from the proximal end. The body restraint harness is slidably mounted on the board so as to be positionable at any required point along the length of the patient. The body restraint harness also includes a shoulder harness and a head harness for immobilizing the patient. To facilitate the mounting and release of the distal end of each length of the harness, the side edges of the board are formed with a mounting edge over which hooks located at the end of the harness may hook. The board is formed with buoyancy compartments which serve to make the board horizontally buoyant in water.
