ABSTRACT:
An improved backboard contains hollow channels or "tunnels" embedded in the board and accessible from the edges and lower surface of the board. Such channels are preferably integral to the device and do not lessen the strength of the board. Patient straps and restraining devices are conveniently stored within the channels in a more or less fully elongated state so that they can be quickly retrieved for restraining a patient. Because the straps are stretched out as opposed to rolled or otherwise packaged, they can be quickly deployed with a minimum of twisting or tangling.
