ABSTRACT:
A cervical support for use in immobilizing victims of spinal injuries and particularly for use in immobilizing vehical crash victims prior to their extrication from the vehicle. The cervical support includes a cervical splint dimensioned to extend from the top of the head to about midback of an adult victim, and which is shaped to follow the outline of the victim's head and shoulders. The cervical support is provided with head and chest straps for securing the victim to the splint. The head straps wrap about the forehead and the chin of the victim, and the chest straps extend over the shoulder and under the opposite arm in criss-cross fashion across the chest. The strap arrangement permits diagnosis and treatment of other injuries while keeping the victim immobilized.
