Universal Head Immobilizer Block
A universal head immobilizer block is an essential medical device used in emergency situations to stabilize and immobilize a patient's head and neck. It consists of blocks or pads that are placed on either side of the head, along with straps that secure the head in place, preventing movement and minimizing the risk of further injury to the cervical spine.
These immobilizer blocks are typically designed to fit onto backboards or stretcher systems, ensuring the head remains in a neutral and secure position during transport. They are adjustable and versatile, catering to different head sizes and shapes, and are an integral part of spinal immobilization protocols followed by emergency medical personnel to protect patients from potential spinal injuries.
