Spine board

Definition

A flat, stiff device intended to be placed under a patient (the patient is usually strapped to this device) to ensure spinal immobilization when a spinal injury is suspected. This device is often used in combination with a head/neck immobilizing device that is also typically fixed or strapped to it. It is typically used after serious accidents and for transport of the patient on a stretcher. It is typically made of x-ray translucent/non-ferromagnetically active materials that allow x-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and comes in various sizes. This is a reusable device.
