ABSTRACT:
A disposable backboard for carrying a patient is formed from a folded blank. The blank is stored flat and can be folded to form the backboard. The backboard has a planar center panel and a pair of tubular shaped strengthening support members extending along the bottom face of the center panel adjacent the longitudinal side edges. The strengthening support members have a substantially triangular-shaped cross-section and extend the length of the center panel. A support panel is connected to each of the strengthening members and are positioned along the bottom face of the center panel. The support panels are generally attached to the center panel to further strengthen the backboard.
