Half-Back Vertical Extrication Device by LSI #L710

Features

• Dual Purpose - The optional vertical lift strap assembly allows the Half-Back to be used in two distinctly different ways. First, with the aluminum back-stay in place, the half back will vertically lift a suspected cervical/spinal injury victim during confined space extrication. (Vertically lifting this type of victim is not recommended unless no other means are evident.) Second, the Half-Back can be quickly converted into a vertical lift/extrication/rescue harness simply by removing the aluminum back-stay.
• Versatile - State of the art design enables the Half-Back to perform three functions that previously required three different products, making it very cost effective.
• Comfortable - Vest-like shoulder and torso straps provide the best possible type of spine and torso immobilization available for close space extrication.
• Easy to Maneuver - Safe & quick maneuvering of the victim is easily accomplished with 6 strategically located handles.
• Ready Quickly - Quick-release Velcro storage pockets neatly house all straps until needed for rescue.
• Easily Attached - Provides proper and timely immobilization without extra manipulation of the equipment or victim.
• Anatomical Design - Features an aluminum back-stay anatomically designed for the cervical portion of the spinal column. The unique "V" shaped head pad and full head harness allow easy stabilization of the head and eliminate the need for any roll or extra padding to support the victim's head. Does not interfere with cervical x-rays.
• Durable - The interior of the Half-Back is a non-absorbent, closed-cell foam. The outer covering consists of a tough, stain resistant washable junior ballistic nylon which provides protection and comfort to the victim and rescue person.
• Easy to Store - Lightweight, compact and durable carrying case makes it easy to store & transport to the scene.
