ABSTRACT:
An extrication and spinal restraint device for use in emergency rescues, an onsite medical aid where potential back, neck and shoulder injuries may exist includes a jacket of flexible material arranged to extend the entire length of a victim's spine, neck and head and be secured thereto by head, torso and pelvic straps, the jacket mounting a pair of rigid backboard members arranged to be disposed behind a victim's back, neck and head and configured to extend with the confronting longitudinal edges disposed along a victim's spine to provide rigid support only inwardly of the sides of a victim's body and head, the pelvic straps configured and disposed specifically to engage the pelvic structure of a human torso specifically above the articulating joints of the hips, so that movement of the legs is permitted without affecting changes in tension on the jacket, and the head is positively immobilized by a pair of straps configured specifically to engage only the fixed, non-articulating portion of a human skull or a rigid cervical collar if provided.
