KED/ Extrication Device

The KED (Kendrick Extrication Device) is a specialized rescue tool used to immobilize and secure patients during extrication from vehicles or other confined spaces. Designed for ease of use, it consists of a rigid backboard with adjustable straps and a head immobilizer, allowing emergency responders to safely stabilize a patient's spine while facilitating movement. The KED is particularly effective for patients with suspected spinal injuries, as it minimizes movement and reduces the risk of further injury during transport. Its lightweight, compact design makes it suitable for use in various emergency situations, ensuring quick and effective patient care.
