SPINAL RESTRAINT DEVICE

摘要

OF THE DISCLOSURE A spinal restraint device consisting of a rigid elongate primary support whereby a spine of a patient may be supported. The primary support has a top surface, a bottom surface, a first end, a second end and opposed sides. The primary support has a head portion adjacent the first end and a back portion adjacent the second end. The head portion is parallel to and lower than the back portion. A pair of flaps are provided each of which has a first edge secured to the opposed sides of the back portion of the primary support and a second edge. Buckles are secured to the flaps adjacent the second end. The flaps are flexible and pliable such that the flaps conform to the contours of a patient's body without regard to the size and build of the patient when the second edges of the flaps are overlapped and secured in position by the buckles. Pads are detachably secured to the head portion of the support such that the pads may be adjusted as required to suit the longitudinal and angular positioning of the patients head in relation to the head portion of the primary support and the elevation of the patient's head may be placed in a substantially anatomically neutral position. Crotch and shoulder straps are secured to the flaps to secure the patient against longitudinal movement in relation to the primary support.
