Skedco SK-300 Oregon Spine Splint II

The spinal immobilization/extrication device of its type that meets all of the established criteria for immobilizing a sealed patient. The OSS II is an ideal companion for the Sked Stretcher system. The OSS II provides for safe removal of patients from injury sites without doing further damage to the spine if properly used. The OSS II can be used in place of a conventional short backboard and as a hip or leg splint. The OSS II includes a shoulder board, not found in similar devices, that can be used to prevent compression of the shoulders when using a flexible stretcher. The OSS II folds into an extremely small package and slips inside a rolled-up Sked Stretcher in its backpack bag, adding no volume to the Sked Rescue System package.

• Faster to apply than other immobilizers
• Allows defibrillation, EKG monitoring, and all other pre-hospital diagnostic and treatment procedures without compromising immobilization.
