ABSTRACT:
A head immobilizer for use in emergency situations is formed in a flat, compact shape which is easily formed into an operable configuration. The head immobilizer includes a base and a head stabilizing structure attached to the base. The stabilizing structure includes a pair of inner panels that are hinged to the base at one edge and can be conformed to the shape of the patient's head. An outer support panel is hinged to an opposite end of the inner panel. A slide tab is attached to the outer panel and is coupled for sliding movement with respect to the base. A locking mechanism is provided to lock the sliding tab in position during use. The position of the slide tab with respect to the base adjusts the spacing of the inner panels comfortably to conform to the patient's head.
