The Industry's Toughest Head Immobilizers When a spineboard is dropped or tossed into the back of a truck, the head blocks often take the brunt of the impact. The Kemp USA Head Blocks are engineered to be the most durable on the market. Unlike standard foam blocks that can tear, crumble, or absorb fluids over time, these blocks are constructed from a dense, impact-resistant material designed to survive years of rigorous use on pool decks and in ambulances.
Designed specifically as direct replacements for the Kemp EG Aquatic Spineboard and the Wood TG Spineboard, these blocks provide the lateral support necessary to maintain neutral spinal alignment during transport. They are an essential component for any agency looking to extend the life of their immobilization equipment without buying a whole new system.
Key Features
- Impact Resistant: Built to withstand drops and rough handling that would destroy standard foam blocks. These are "buy it for life" durability components.
- Direct Compatibility: Perfectly contoured to fit the Kemp USA EG Aquatic Spineboard (Item #10-982) and the Wood TG Spineboard (Item #10-981).
- Hygienic Surface: The non-absorbent outer skin is easy to wipe down and decontaminate, preventing the growth of mildew or bacteria common in water rescue gear.
- Complete Set: Sold as a Pair (Left & Right) and includes a Chin Strap to secure the patient's forehead and chin to the blocks.
- Critical Safety: Provides the rigid lateral support required to prevent neck movement in suspected spinal injury cases.
Why It Matters Head blocks are the "brakes" for the cervical spine. If they are soft, worn out, or ill-fitting, the patient's head can shift during transport, potentially worsening an injury. These heavy-duty blocks ensure a rigid, secure fit every time.
