Restore Your Immobilizer to Like-New Condition Over time, the side blocks (pillows) of a head immobilizer can become torn, lost, or soiled, even while the base plate remains in perfect condition. The Kemp USA Replacement Pillows allow you to replace just the components you need without the expense of buying a complete new system.

Designed as direct replacements for the popular Kemp USA Universal Head Immobilizer (#10-001), these blocks feature the same high-quality construction: a supportive foam core dipped in a thick, durable vinyl coating. This makes them waterproof, easy to disinfect, and buoyant. With Universal Compatibility, they will fit onto the hook-and-loop base plates of most standard head immobilizers found in ambulances and lifeguard stations.

Key Features

  • Universal Fit: Perfectly sized to replace the blocks on the Kemp #10-001, but also compatible with most other major brands of "brick style" head immobilizers.
  • Cost-Effective Repair: Extends the service life of your equipment for a fraction of the cost of a full replacement kit.
  • Color-Coded Options: Available in Red, Royal Blue, Orange, and Yellow. This allows agencies to color-code their gear by department (e.g., Lifeguards use Red, EMS uses Blue) or simply match their existing backboards.
  • Infection Control: The seamless vinyl coating is impervious to fluids and easy to wipe down with standard medical disinfectants.
  • Ear Holes: Features large ear holes to allow for patient communication and monitoring of the ear canal for fluid drainage.

Why It Matters Equipment maintenance is a constant battle in EMS. Instead of throwing away a perfectly good base plate because one block got chewed up by the ambulance doors, simply swap in a fresh pair of pillows. It’s smart inventory management.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose Kemp USA Replacement Pillows over buying a new head immobilizer?

The Kemp USA Replacement Pillows (SKU 10-011) offer a cost-effective solution at $50 per pair versus replacing an entire head immobilizer system. Designed as direct replacements for the Kemp USA Head Immobilizer #10-001, these pillows fit most standard head immobilizers, extending the life of your existing equipment. Built from durable, high-quality materials to withstand repeated use in emergency settings, they maintain the same reliable support and stabilization as your original equipment while saving your department hundreds of dollars.

Will these replacement pillows fit my department's existing head immobilizers if they're not Kemp USA brand?

Yes! While specifically designed as replacements for Kemp USA Head Immobilizer Item #10-001, these pillows are compatible with most standard head immobilizers on the market. The universal dimensions (6.5" L x 5.75" W x 9.5" H) and lightweight design (0.5 lbs per pillow) make them adaptable to various brands. If you're using a standard-sized head immobilizer system, these replacement pillows should integrate seamlessly with your current equipment.

How do the color options help in emergency response situations?

The Kemp USA Replacement Pillows come in four high-visibility colors—Red (SKU 10-011-RED), Royal Blue (SKU 10-011-ROY), Orange (SKU 10-011-ORG), and Yellow (SKU 10-011-YEL)—allowing EMS professionals and rescue teams to implement color-coded systems for quick equipment identification. Many departments use different colors to designate specific ambulances, trauma kits, or patient categories, reducing response time during critical situations. The bright colors also improve visibility in low-light emergency scenes.

Can these replacement pillows maintain patient comfort during extended transport times?

Absolutely. The Kemp USA Replacement Pillows are engineered with high-quality materials that provide both firm stabilization for spinal immobilization protocols and patient comfort during transport. At 0.5 lbs each, they're lightweight enough to prevent additional pressure points while maintaining the structural integrity needed for proper head immobilization. EMS professionals report these pillows perform reliably during both short-distance transfers and extended inter-facility transports.

What makes these pillows durable enough for repeated emergency use?

Built specifically for the demands of emergency medical services, these replacement pillows feature durable construction designed to withstand the rigors of repeated use in high-stress environments. Unlike consumer-grade foam products, they're manufactured to maintain their shape and support properties through multiple patient encounters, decontamination cycles, and storage in ambulances or rescue vehicles. This durability ensures continued functionality and patient safety across hundreds of emergency responses.
