Quick Overview

This component serves as a direct replacement for a worn or damaged head immobilizer base, allowing for cost-effective fleet maintenance. Its primary tactical advantage is its fully radiolucent (X-ray, MRI, and CT-safe) construction, which permits continuous patient immobilization from the field through diagnostic imaging.

Field Application Steps

Inspect the base plate for integrity and ensure the spineboard is clear.
Securely fasten the base plate to the head of the spineboard using the integrated straps, routing them through the board's handholds.
Once the patient is positioned, place compatible head blocks firmly against the hook-and-loop landing strips on both sides of the head.
Apply head and chin straps (sold separately) over the blocks to achieve final immobilization.
Re-assess patient airway and confirm neutral alignment before releasing manual stabilization and transporting.
