Spine Board

The item shown in the image is an orange plastic spine board (or backboard), a medical device used for patient handling and transport in trauma care. It provides rigid support to immobilize the spine in cases of potential neck or back injuries. Made of high-strength polyethylene (PE) plastic, it is typically lightweight, durable, and easy to clean. The material is often X-ray translucent, allowing for imaging without removing the patient from the board. It features multiple hand holes for easy handling and strap slots to secure the patient. Spine boards can support a significant amount of weight, often up to around 350 lbs (159 kg).
