Spine Boards
Spine Boards are rigid flat boards built to provide a hard surface that supports the casualty's back during initial transport from the incident scene. They differ from standard stretchers by their rigid surface that limits spinal movement, and from immobilization devices by being a primary transfer platform. Used in the response structure for scenarios with back-injury risk.

About this category
Spine boards address a specific challenge in emergency transport: keeping the back aligned during transfer. The design: a flat board of reinforced plastic or carbon fiber, side handles for multi-point carriage, slots for strap routing, head and neck recesses, and a smooth surface that eases cleaning. Types by design: standard boards with uniform dimensions, pediatric boards in smaller sizes, floating boards for marine and swimming facilities, and X-ray-transparent boards for emergency hospital use. Available accessories: securement straps, head blocks, a compatible cervical collar, and spider straps. Uses: first-response teams, construction sites, oil and gas platforms, traffic incident sites, sports facilities, marine rescue teams, and schools and training institutes. Operating considerations: training in low-motion transport techniques, compatibility with restraint accessories, and vertical or horizontal storage away from extreme heat. A substantive difference from standard stretchers: spine boards provide a rigid controlled surface, while standard stretchers have a flexible surface for general carriage. Board dimensions, design type, and restraint accessories are chosen from the product documentation to match the response type and site requirements.
