Reliable Immobilization for Mass Casualty Response When a disaster strikes, quantity and reliability are paramount. The Kemp USA MCI Mass Casualty Disaster Board is engineered to provide professional-grade immobilization at a price point that allows agencies to stockpile them for Mass Casualty Incidents (MCI). Whether it's for a triage tent, a stadium emergency, or a natural disaster response unit, this board delivers the durability needed for the field without the extra cost of water-rescue features.

Constructed from a Heavy-Duty Polyethylene Shell, this board is built to survive the chaos of emergency scenes. It features the same ergonomic layout as premium boards—including 21 large handholds and 10 speed-clip pins—ensuring that responders can lift and secure patients efficiently. Crucially, it is X-Ray Translucent, allowing patients to be triaged through radiology without being moved from the device.

Key Features

  • Economical & Durable: Designed to be the "workhorse" of disaster response. It offers a cost-effective solution for agencies needing to purchase multiple units, without sacrificing the 600 lb load capacity.
  • Medical Imaging Ready: 100% X-Ray Translucent. This is critical in MCI scenarios where speed in the ER is essential; patients can go straight to imaging without time-consuming transfers.
  • Ergonomic Handling: Features 21 large handholds to accommodate gloved hands and 10 pins molded into the shell for compatibility with speed-clip straps.
  • Rugged Shell: The seamless polyethylene exterior is impact-resistant, easy to decontaminate, and impervious to blood and fluids.
  • Land-Based Focus: Unlike the "AB" or "EG" boards, this unit is not foam-filled and is not recommended for water rescue. It is optimized for land transport and triage.

Why It Matters In a large-scale event, you cannot afford to run out of backboards. The MCI Disaster Board allows departments to maintain a deep inventory of reliable gear. It is the perfect choice for "backup" or "surge" capacity in hospitals, schools, and event venues where water buoyancy is not a requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the Kemp USA MCI Disaster Board X-ray translucent instead of foam-filled?▸

The Kemp USA MCI Mass Casualty Disaster Board features heavy-duty polyethylene construction that is X-ray translucent, allowing medical imaging without removing the patient from the board. This is critical during mass casualty incidents when time is essential. Unlike foam-filled spineboards designed for water rescue, the Kemp USA 10-998 board prioritizes cost-effectiveness and high-volume emergency response, making it ideal for hospitals, EMS teams, and disaster response units managing multiple patients simultaneously. The polyethylene shell supports up to 600 lbs while remaining lightweight at just 18 lbs.

How many patients can I transport with the Kemp USA MCI board's 10-pin strap system?▸

The Kemp USA MCI Mass Casualty Disaster Board is equipped with 10 pins for secure strapping and 21 large handholes for efficient lifting and maneuverability. This configuration allows EMS teams to rapidly secure patients during high-volume emergency situations. The board's 72.75" x 17.75" x 2.5" dimensions accommodate adult patients up to 600 lbs, and the economical design makes it practical to stock multiple units for mass casualty incidents where traditional spineboards may be in short supply.

Can the Kemp USA 10-998-BLU or 10-998-YEL board be used for water rescue operations?▸

No, the Kemp USA MCI Mass Casualty Disaster Board (available in Royal Blue SKU 10-998-BLU and Yellow SKU 10-998-YEL) is not recommended for water use. Unlike foam-filled spineboards that provide buoyancy, this board is constructed from solid heavy-duty polyethylene designed specifically for mass casualty response and everyday emergency transport. Its strength lies in being cost-effective for high-volume emergency situations, X-ray translucent for medical imaging, and durable enough to support 600 lbs during ground-based patient transport.

What makes the Kemp USA MCI board more economical than traditional spineboards for disaster response?▸

The Kemp USA MCI Mass Casualty Disaster Board is specifically designed as a cost-effective solution for mass casualty incidents where multiple patient transport devices are needed simultaneously. At $165, the heavy-duty polyethylene construction provides durability and impact resistance without the higher cost of foam-filled alternatives. The board's X-ray translucent design eliminates the need to transfer patients for imaging, the 21 large handholes enable rapid deployment by multiple responders, and the lightweight 18-lb design reduces responder fatigue during extended emergency operations.

Will the Kemp USA disaster board fit in standard ambulance compartments and hospital storage?▸

Yes, the Kemp USA MCI Mass Casualty Disaster Board measures 72.75" (L) x 17.75" (W) x 2.5" (H), making it compatible with standard ambulance compartments and hospital storage racks. The slim 2.5" profile allows for efficient stacking of multiple units, which is essential for disaster response units and hospitals preparing for mass casualty incidents. Weighing only 18 lbs, the board is easy to handle and deploy quickly, while the 21 large handholes provide multiple grip points for maneuvering in tight spaces or during multi-responder lifts.
