ABSTRACT:
An emergency spinal immobilization and extrication device permits a victim of spinal column trauma to be firmly supported and immobilized for transportation to a health care facility. The device comprises a container filled with a multiplicity of small, resilient particles resting on a light-weight, rigid base-board, and having a sliding rigid cover. The container comprises means for inflating with gas and deflating. In operation the victim is placed on the cover and restrained at the ankles. As the cover is removed by sliding, the victim descends onto the container. The container is then deflated, leaving the victim supported by the particles which cling together as the gas is evacuated.
