ABSTRACT:
A body splint/litter device for rapidly and securely immobilizing an injured person at an accident site prior to and while transporting the person to a medical facility for appropriate care and treatment. The body splint/litter includes a rigid substantially body-shaped panel of a size compatible with placement within a standard basket-type stretcher. The panel has a plurality of elongated slots at its side suitably spaced for purposes of handling the injured person. One end of each of several fastener straps is directly attached to the rigid panel by screws or other suitable fasteners. Additional slots are located along the edges of the panel at various locations through which the free ends of the several restraining straps may be passed and folded back over the edge of the panel for rapid securing and adjustment of each strap. A supplemental harness for restricting further motion of the head is also provided. Adjustable shoulder straps slidably mounted at one end of each such strap to a torso strap are provided to conveniently accommodate different body sizes.
