?:definition
  • Emergency immobilizers designed for maximum restriction of movement and/or total immobilization of the whole body. These immobilizers usually consist of rigid structures typically consisting of a long backboard of 183 cm (72 inches) or more and wide enough to permit the rigid attachment of the entire body; smaller immobilizers intended for children are also available. The board is frequently made of light metallic or hard plastic radiolucent materials and includes multiple straps and handhold openings. Whole body immobilizers are mainly used after traumatic injuries in emergency situations, allowing easy transportation and/or diagnosis of the patient.
