Two Pairs of Right-Sized Stabilization for Your Smallest Patients

Using standard adult head blocks on an infant or small child often leaves dangerous gaps, allowing the head to roll laterally during transport. The Kemp USA Pediatric Head Immobilizer Blocks are dimensioned to solve that. Reducing the width and profile of the blocks provides a snug fit against a smaller cranium and holds neutral alignment. This listing ships two pairs, enough to equip a rig and its pediatric jump bag from one order.

The blocks are a universal fit, attaching to the same standard base plate used for adult blocks. Crews swap the adult pillows for these pediatric ones in seconds, with no separate immobilization system required. High-density foam with a durable vinyl coating makes them waterproof, easy to sanitize, and built to last.

Pack Configuration

Each pack contains two pairs, four blocks in total. Each pair is a left and right set.

Key Features

  • Pediatric Specific Design: Smaller dimensions (4.25" x 5.75") sit flush against an infant or child's head, eliminating the lateral movement that adult blocks allow on small patients.
  • Universal Base Compatibility: Attaches to the hook-and-loop strips of standard head immobilizer base plates such as the Kemp 10-001. No adapter needed.
  • Infection Control: The non-porous vinyl coating resists fluids and wipes clean with standard disinfectants.
  • Radiolucent: Contains no metal parts, so the blocks stay in place during X-ray and CT imaging.
  • Durable Construction: Resists tearing and puncturing through frequent use in prehospital environments.
  • Two Pairs Per Pack: Equips a primary rig and a backup pediatric kit from a single line item.

Why It Matters

In pediatric trauma, making do with adult equipment is a liability. These blocks adapt existing gear to the anatomical needs of a child. Two pairs means the pediatric capability exists in more than one place, which matters because the call does not wait for the right bag to be on the right truck.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are these pediatric blocks sized differently from adult blocks?▸

The Kemp USA Pediatric Head Immobilizer Blocks are dimensioned at 4.25 inches long by 5.75 inches wide by 4.25 inches high to match the smaller cranial dimensions of infant and pediatric patients. Standard adult blocks are too large and leave gaps that compromise spinal stabilization during emergency transport. These pediatric-specific blocks maintain proper contact and secure immobilization for younger patients, reducing the risk of secondary injury during ambulance transport or interfacility transfer.

How many blocks come in a pack?▸

Each pack contains two pairs, four blocks in total, with each pair forming a left and right set. Two pairs lets an agency keep pediatric capability in more than one place, typically a primary rig plus a dedicated pediatric jump bag. Pediatric calls are infrequent enough that a single set often ends up on the wrong truck when it is needed, which is the problem a second pair solves.

Will these blocks fit my existing backboard and base plate system?▸

Yes. The blocks carry universal compatibility and attach to the hook-and-loop strips of most standard head immobilizer base plates, including Ferno, Laerdal, and other common EMS equipment. They work with both adult and pediatric backboards, so no specialized mounting hardware is required. Crews swap the adult pillows for these in seconds without carrying a second complete immobilization system.

How do I clean and disinfect the vinyl-coated foam between patients?▸

The durable vinyl coating is built for decontamination between patients. Wipe all surfaces with hospital-grade disinfectant wipes or spray cleaners approved for medical equipment, such as quaternary ammonium compounds or diluted bleach solutions. The non-porous vinyl surface resists fluid absorption and sanitizes quickly without degrading the foam core, which suits high-volume EMS operations where turnaround time matters.

How do these compare with using rolled towels or blankets for pediatric immobilization?▸

Improvised padding with towels or blankets can shift, compress unevenly, or unroll during transport, compromising spinal alignment. These blocks provide consistent stabilization with a firm foam core that holds its shape under pressure. The vinyl-coated construction delivers uniform support on both sides of the patient's head, and the standardized dimensions make immobilization technique reproducible across a crew rather than dependent on who packed the towels.
