The Foundation of Secure Immobilization The Kemp USA Head Immobilizer Replacement Base allows you to extend the life of your immobilization equipment by replacing only the part you need. Often, the base plate—which takes the most abuse from being strapped to spineboards and dragged across pavement—wears out before the head blocks do. This component is the direct replacement for the Kemp USA Universal Head Immobilizer (Item #10-001).
Designed for modern trauma environments, this base is constructed entirely without metal components. This makes it 100% safe for use in X-ray, MRI, and CT scan procedures, allowing the patient to remain securely immobilized from the accident scene through to the radiology department. It features strong hook-and-loop (Velcro-style) landing strips to securely anchor head blocks in place.
Key Features
- Direct Replacement: Specifically engineered to match the Kemp USA 10-001 system but compatible with most standard universal head blocks.
- Radiolucent Design: Contains no metal parts, preventing artifacts in imaging and ensuring safety in MRI suites.
- Color-Coded Organization: Available in Red, Royal Blue, Orange, and Yellow. This is ideal for distinguishing between departments (e.g., Fire vs. EMS), identifying specific vehicles, or matching your spineboard color scheme.
- Durable Construction: Built from high-quality materials designed to withstand the wear and tear of repeated strapping and unstrapping.
- Universal Attachment: Features the standard strap configuration to secure firmly to almost any backboard or scoop stretcher.
Why It Matters Maintaining your gear shouldn't break the budget. If your head blocks are fine but your base plate straps are frayed or the velcro is worn, this replacement part saves you the cost of a full new system. It is a smart choice for fleet maintenance and supply officers.
