ABSTRACT:
A spinal restraint device which consists of a board-like member which can be placed beneath a patient and secured to the patient as by straps and which includes a head immobilizer or restraint at the head end of the board-like member which is preferably inflatable and which can be placed against opposite sides of the head with the head immobilizer or restraint being secured to the head by a strap while the strap simultaneously secures the head to the board-like member.
The board-like member is preferably of a length which will extend from about the top of the head to about the crotch of a patient and, in addition to the strap in the head region of the board-like member, there is also a strap adapted to be engaged about the patient's chest and at least one further strap secured to the crotch end of the board-like member which can be drawn up through the crotch and secured to the chest strap providing for greater stability of the patient on the board-like member. The member is provided with hand holes so that it can be lifted and transported and, advantageously, has, on the underside, cleat elements which support the board-like member in spaced relation to a supporting surface such as the earth therebeneath.
