ABSTRACT:
The present invention describes a kit which contains two components to immobilize the cervical spine and a method for immobilizing the cervical spine. The first component comprises straps, preferably at least two straps, each strap having a first portion which engages certain body parts and a second portion which engages the second component such that the strap becomes anchored to the second component. The second component is a substance which can be extruded from a container in a semisolid state and which can mold to the contours of objects before hardening into a rigid solid state. To immobilize the cervical spine, the straps of the first component are held in place on, by way of example, the chin and forehead, while the second component is applied to the areas of the anterior, superior and posterior aspects of the shoulders, posterior and lateral aspects of the neck, and lateral and posterior aspects of the head of the patient, and allowed to harden.
