A splint device (10) for the spinal immobilization of a patient. The splint includes a central support portion (11) and two pairs of laterally extending flexible wings (12, 13 and 14, 15) adapted to extend, respectively about the head and about the body of a patient and the central support portion is formed integrally with the wings from a synthetic plastics material and is concave on one side. The concavity includes a plurality of stiffening ribs adapted to render the central support portion substantially inflexible. The central support portion may be formed in two part joined together by a lockable hinge such that the angle of inclination of a head part of the splint to the body part thereof may be selectively adjusted between 0 DEG and 30 DEG . |
