A splint to be applied by a policeman, paramedic, or fireman during rescue operation to a suspected cervical spine injury victim. The splint is designed for quick on-site installation to immobilize the head and cervical area before any attempt is made to move the victim. The splint is composed of two half sections. Each section is mounted on a shoulder harness and is designed to be fitted independently on either side of the head. The two sections are then connected to form a cage surrounding the victim's head. The head is secured within the cage by means of inflatable neck pillows. The splint may be fitted with an accessory designed to apply traction to the cervical vertebrae during emergency room treatment.
