摘要

A disposable total spinal immobilization backboard of multiple ply corrugated material impregnated with a waxing substance by a cascading process which acts to both waterproof and to improve the strength and rigidity of the backboard. A panel has a width of about 16 inches and a length of about 6 feet and is reinforced to allow a deflection of less than 1/2 inch either laterally or longitudinally when exposed to a weight of 300 pounds. Handholds receive hands for the carrying of an injured party. An injured party is securely strapped to strap receiving means, including handholds whereby total spinal immobilization is effectuated for safe and secure transfer.
