ABSTRACT:
A device for restraining the head of an injured person carried on a cervical support board, the device having a pair of L-shaped side frames each defining a base portion and a brace portion. The brace portion is sized approximately 6-8 inches long (in the direction of the base portion) and 4-6 inches high (in the direction transverse to the base portion). Velcro-type hook-loop fasteners are fixed to the base portion of the side frames and to the support board where the injured person's head is located. The brace portion of the side frame is adapted then to be snugged against the side of the person's head, extending from close to the neck upwardly beyond the ears; with the base portion then being secured onto the support in this position. Straps are then trained over the person's head, at the forehead and/or chin, and secured again by Velcro-type hook-loop fasteners to the brace portions of the side frames. Openings in the guide portions of the side frames expose the person's ears for visual and touch access thereof; and padding on the brace portion surrounds the access opening to cushion the snugging action against the person's head.
