The Kendrick Extrication Device (KED) is a device that is used in vehicle extrication to remove a patient from a motor vehicle. A KED is generally only used on stable patients; unstable patients are extricated with rapid extrication techniques without applying a KED.

A KED is used in conjunction with a cervical collar to help immobilize a patient's head, neck and spine in the normal anatomical position (neutral position). This position helps prevent additional injuries to these regions during vehicle extrication.

A KED wraps a person's head, back, shoulders, and torso in a semi-rigid brace, immobilizing the head, neck and spine. Typically there are two head straps, three torso straps, and two legs straps which are used to adequately secure the KED to the patient. Unlike a back board, the KED uses a series of wooden or polymer bars in a nylon jacket, allowing the responders to immobilize the patent's spine and neck, and remove them from the vehicle/confined space. KEDs can also be used to fully immobilize pediatric patients.

Features:

  • Provides both immobilization and comfort with a built-in plywood spine board along the back
  • It is applied to the injured rib.
  • Three color-coded body straps with quick-clip, snap-lock buckles make it simple to apply in low light or cramped areas.
  • When used in conjunction with a cervical collar, it provides immobilization in sitting position until patient can be transferred to a long spine board.
  • Comes complete with two reusable, plastic-coated head/chin straps, neck pad and durable carrying case.
