K.E.D. Pro 031-4063

The Kendrick Extrication Device (K.E.D.) Pro immobilizes the torso, head, and neck, enabling prompt extrication of patients from auto accidents and other confined spaces while minimizing risks of further injury. The two-part, wrap-around design provides horizontal flexibility for easy application and vertical rigidity for maximum support of the spine, neck, and head during extrication.

The Ferno K.E.D. Pro is engineered to provide superior immobilization of the torso, head, and neck, facilitating prompt and safe extrication of patients from auto accidents and other confined spaces. Its two-part, wrap-around design offers horizontal flexibility for easy application and vertical rigidity for maximum support during extrication.​

Key Features:

• Enhanced Immobilization: Rigid spinal panel reduces rotation and flexion, ensuring maximum support.

• Improved Application: Wider head support flaps and more compact head and neck support pads for easier application.

• Integrated Handles: Built-in handles allow rescuers to maintain a firm grip on the patient and the K.E.D. Pro as one unit.

• Deceleration Shoulder Strap: Assists in proper positioning and prevents patient movement during vehicle deceleration.

• One-Piece Leg Strap: Runs through the spine and forms a continuous loop for connection to ropes and carabiners.

• Metal Buckles: Leg and chest strap buckles increase durability and security.

• Carrying Case: Comes with a carrying case for easy transport.

• Radiolucent: Allows for X-rays and advanced life support procedures without removal.​
