New Line of Spine Boards Straps Introduced to Fit All Spine Boards During an Emergency
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 18, 2014 -- When someone is injured, it can be important to know when and when to not make a move. Depending on the injury, a lifeguard may want to stabilize the victim, however, a properly trained professional will know they have to have the correct tools to do so. When someone is injured, it is critical for the right steps to be taken as the wrong move can cause lasting damage. For this reason, Lifeguard Master has released a new line of spine board straps, spine boards, and head immobilizers so a lifeguard can always be prepared.
Lifeguard Master offers a variety of backboard and spine board straps. The Quick Release Strap is one of the most popular strap and is incredibly durable. Made of nylon webbing, this spine board strap comes with plastic clips and can be used for all spine boards or backboards on the market.
The Velcro backboard straps allow the rescuer to secure the victim at three different points and either carry them or float them to safety. Each strap is 72 inches long and 2 inches wide, allowing the straps to cover a victim thoroughly. Made of durable nylon webbing covered with Velcro on the other side, these backboard straps are great for any spine board or backboard.
The Spider Strap is a reflective 10-point strap that is a favorite among EMS professionals because of how easy it is to use. Made of heavy nylon, this spine board strap is far superior compared to others on the market. This reflective strip comes in a carrying case and is great for dark areas on land or in the water because of the reflective material the strap has. With a one year warranty under normal use, this Spider Strap has Velcro straps at the end of the strap for a secure and custom fit every time.
There are some items people purchase that they hope they never have to use. A spine board is one of those items. It is a scary thought that someone might be injured in such a way that their spine is somehow damaged, however, it is a tool that is necessary to have on hand in case such an injury occurs.
The spine board with head immobilizer and strap kit contains a spine board, a head immobilizer, and three Velcro straps. Unlike other backboards, this professional spine board features a seamless design that prevents fluids from entering and eliminating cross contamination for both professionals and the victim. Guaranteed x-ray translucent between hand holes, this spine board offers a polyurethane shell that has a 600-pound patient weight capacity. With 21 hand-holes and 8 pins for strapping needs, this spine board is exceptionally durable. To view a video of this kit, please click on: The spineboard kit with head immobilizer and straps
