The Kemp USA Head Immobilizer (SKU 10-001) contains zero metal components, making it completely safe for all medical imaging procedures. Unlike traditional immobilizers that require removal before scans, this device can remain in place during X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans, reducing patient movement risk and saving critical time in trauma situations. The high-grade foam construction with vinyl coating provides the same structural support without interfering with imaging equipment, making it ideal for emergency departments and trauma centers where rapid diagnosis is essential.

Absolutely. The Kemp USA Head Immobilizer is both waterproof and buoyant, making it uniquely suited for lifeguard operations, marine rescue teams, and waterfront EMS response. At just 2.6 lbs with dimensions of 16.75" x 10" x 5.25", it floats while maintaining secure head stabilization, allowing rescuers to safely immobilize patients during water extractions. The vinyl-coated foam resists water absorption and can be quickly disinfected after saltwater or freshwater exposure, unlike fabric-based alternatives that retain moisture.

The Kemp USA Head Immobilizer works with all standard spineboards except Kemp EG and TG models. It features universal mounting with wide hook-and-loop closures that secure to most backboard surfaces, including Ferno, Junkin, Morrison, and other Kemp spineboard models. The complete set includes one base pad, two head block pillows, and two head/chin straps, providing full compatibility with your existing equipment fleet without requiring proprietary mounting systems.

Unlike single-use disposable immobilizers, the Kemp USA Head Immobilizer is designed for repeated use in demanding EMS and rescue environments. The durable vinyl coating allows for easy cleaning and disinfection between patients, making it more cost-effective over time. The high-grade foam maintains its shape and support properties through hundreds of uses, while disposable alternatives often lack the structural integrity needed for extended transport or rough-terrain rescues. At $89.00, it pays for itself after just a few uses compared to disposable options.

The Kemp USA Head Immobilizer is available in five high-visibility colors: Black (10-001-BLK), Orange (10-001-ORG), Red (10-001-RED), Royal Blue (10-001-ROY), and Yellow (10-001-YEL). Color-coding allows EMS agencies to organize equipment by station, vehicle, or protocol—for example, using yellow for pediatric-specific kits or orange for water rescue units. High-visibility colors like orange and yellow also improve equipment accountability during multi-agency responses and low-light rescue operations.
