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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are Kemp USA Head Blocks considered the toughest in the industry?▸

Kemp USA Head Blocks (SKU 10-992) are engineered with exceptionally durable, impact-resistant construction that withstands drops and long-term field use without cracking or needing replacement. Unlike standard foam blocks that degrade over time, these head blocks maintain their structural integrity even when the spineboard is accidentally dropped during emergency transport, making them ideal for high-intensity EMS, lifeguard, and rescue operations where equipment durability is critical.

Can I use these head blocks with my existing spineboard, or are they only compatible with Kemp USA boards?▸

These head blocks are specifically designed as replacement blocks for the Kemp USA Aquatic EG Spine Board (Item #10-982) and the Wood TG Spine Board (Item #10-981). They're sold in pairs and include a chin strap for secure patient immobilization. If you're using a different spineboard brand, verify mounting compatibility before ordering, as these blocks are optimized for Kemp USA spineboard dimensions and attachment systems.

What's included when I order the Kemp USA Head Blocks, and do I need to purchase additional straps separately?▸

Each order includes a pair of head blocks plus an integrated chin strap for additional patient security during transport. You receive everything needed for complete head immobilization—no separate strap purchases required. The pair configuration ensures you have matching blocks for proper bilateral head stabilization, meeting standard spinal immobilization protocols for EMS and aquatic rescue scenarios.

How do Kemp USA Head Blocks improve patient alignment compared to rolled towels or improvised head supports?▸

Kemp USA Head Blocks provide stable, consistent head immobilization that maintains proper cervical spine alignment during patient transport and rescue operations. Their rigid construction prevents lateral head movement more effectively than rolled towels or blankets, which can shift or compress. The included chin strap adds an extra layer of security, ensuring the patient's head remains in neutral alignment—critical for suspected spinal injuries in emergency situations.

Are these head blocks suitable for water rescue operations, or only for land-based EMS use?▸

These head blocks are compatible with the Kemp USA Aquatic EG Spine Board (Item #10-982), making them well-suited for water rescue and lifeguard operations. Their impact-resistant construction withstands the rigors of aquatic environments, including pool decks, beach rescues, and watercraft transport. EMS teams, lifeguards, and rescue professionals rely on these blocks for consistent performance in both water-based and land-based emergency scenarios.
