spine board

What is a spine board? What is it used for?

The spine board is used to rescue people who have had an accident and where a spinal injury cannot be ruled out. Often the space for rescue is very limited or must first be created using technical aids.

In patient-oriented rescue, time is of the essence and it is important to avoid further damage to the patient during rescue. In order to achieve these two core goals in an accident rescue, the equipment used must be quick and easy to use.

Why our Spineboard S2l?

Our Spineboard S2L from RescateJota impresses experienced professionals in technical assistance with its extremely slim design and high-quality material. At just 1.8 cm thick, it is the thinnest spineboard on the market, which can be crucial for rescue in confined spaces, such as accident vehicles.

Our spine board is made of phenolic wood panels. The natural raw material, wood, allows a weight of only 5.5 kg, but still a maximum load capacity of 220 kg. This is also possible thanks to the ergonomic, curved shape.
The phenolic wood is additionally protected by an acrylic polyurethane layer, which makes the board even more durable, water-repellent and X-ray-permeable (MRI & CT). And of course the wooden board provides buoyancy in the water.

Our wooden spine board has no limited lifespan, unlike plastic alternatives
