The Kendrick Extrication Device is a complete immobilization device and is ideal for extricating patients from auto accidents or confined spaces where a long backboard would be impractical or impossible. The KED is an easy to apply and extremely effective extrication device which provides immobilization through vertical rigidity but allows for horizontal flexibility in order to extricate the patient from tight spaces.
Features:
Wraparound design provides horizontal flexibility for easy application and vertical rigidity for maximum support of the spine, neck, and head during extrication.
Built-in handles enable rescuers to get a firm grip on the patient and K.E.D.® as one unit.
