Frequently asked questions
What is the board's maximum weight capacity?
The board is designed specifically for pediatric patients, supporting children from infancy up to a maximum weight capacity of 75 lb (34 kg). This specification ensures secure immobilization and appropriate sizing for a wide range of pediatric needs.
Is a carry bag available as an option?
Yes, a carry bag is available as an option for the Allied Healthcare Infant / Pediatric Immobilization Board. You can select the configuration that includes the carry bag along with the plastic clips for convenient transport and storage.
Does the split-leg design allow individual leg immobilization?
Yes, the Allied Healthcare board features a split-leg strapping design specifically included to allow for the separate immobilization and treatment of each lower extremity.
This design is highly beneficial because it:
- Allows medical personnel to access and treat one leg without needing to disturb the secure immobilization of the other.
- Ensures the patient’s crucial neutral spinal alignment is maintained during specialized lower extremity procedures or assessments.
Is the immobilization board X-ray and MRI compatible?
Yes, the Allied Healthcare Infant / Pediatric Immobilization Board is engineered to be fully compatible with diagnostic imaging, allowing critical assessments to be performed while the patient remains safely secured.
This is a major benefit for continuity of care, as it eliminates the need to move the patient during procedures.
Key compatibility features include:
- Radiotransparent: The materials are suitable for standard X-ray procedures.
- Fully MRI-compatible: Safe for use in MRI environments.
Is this immobilization board highly durable?
Yes, this immobilization board is specifically built for durability and demanding clinical environments, ensuring long-term use and simplified maintenance.nnKey features supporting its robust construction include:nn* Durable Core: The board stiffener is made from sturdy 0.5-inch Baltic birch for maximum structural integrity and stability.n* Rugged Exterior: It is covered in a resilient, washable nylon made from 500 denier Cordura, designed to resist wear and tear in field, transport, and hospital settings.n* Engineered Stitching: The stitching is specifically designed to withstand damage during frequent use.n* Easy Maintenance: The exterior covering is removable and washable, allowing for easy cleaning and disinfection between uses, which helps preserve the board’s condition over time.n* Enhanced Handling: Features 10 large elevated handholds for secure and safe manipulation by medical personnel.
Does the harness simplify patient airway management?
Yes, the board’s unique harness system is specifically engineered to assist medical personnel during critical interventions while ensuring safe spinal alignment.
This system facilitates necessary patient manipulation for procedures such as:
- Airway management
- Positioning for radiological procedures (as the board is fully X-ray and MRI-compatible)
Crucially, the design allows for this movement while holding the infant or child in a neutrally-aligned static position for maximum safety.
Is the immobilization board easy to clean?
The Allied Healthcare Infant / Pediatric Immobilization Board features a washable nylon covering that allows for easy cleaning and disinfection between uses. This ensures optimal hygiene and straightforward maintenance.
What are the immobilization board's dimensions?
The Allied Healthcare Infant / Pediatric Immobilization Board has the following dimensions:
- Length: 47.5 inches (120.7 cm)
- Width: 9.75 inches (24.8 cm)
- Height/Thickness: 0.5 inches (1.27 cm)
This board is designed for children from infancy up to 75 lb (34 kg) and weighs approximately 7.62 lb (3.5 kg), making it lightweight for easy handling while providing stable support.
Is high-quality Baltic birch used for the board stiffener?
Yes, the core support structure of the board, including the backboard and internal stiffener, is made from 0.5-inch Baltic birch.
This material is chosen specifically for its:
- Durability and Sturdiness: It provides the necessary rigidity to maintain neutral spinal alignment for patients up to 75 lb (34 kg).
- Easy Maintenance: The Baltic birch stiffener facilitates simple cleaning and upkeep, which is essential for medical equipment used in high-traffic environments.
Does the immobilization board feature large, elevated handholds?
Yes, the Allied Healthcare Infant / Pediatric Immobilization Board is designed with robust handling in mind.
It features 10 large, elevated handholds distributed along the sides. These handholds are crucial for:
- Secure Transport: Providing stable, secure grip points for medical personnel during patient movement.
- Easy Manipulation: Facilitating the safe positioning and precise transfer of the secured patient.
- Enhanced Control: Ensuring reliability and support for demanding emergency medical services (EMS) use.
