Filed:
Apr 11, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/103281
Inventors:
Brian Tomcany - Strongsville OH, US

International Classification:
A61G 1/04, A61G 1/044, A61G 1/00
US Classification:
5628, 5622, 5640
Abstract:
A patient immobilization device comprises a backboard having a front side and a back side, and a pair of opposing paddles slidably mounted on the backboard. The paddles are configured to move between a storage position and a support position, to support the head of a patient. Each paddle has a leg portion depending therefrom and extends through a respective slot formed in the backboard between the front and back and sides. A spanning portion of the paddle depends from the leg portion and engages the back side of the backboard to secure the paddle to the backboard. The spanning portion moves in a generally arcuate path between the storage and support positions. In one embodiment, the paddles are flexible along their height so that a portion of the paddle can flex to rotate under the force of a securing structure. In another embodiment, the paddles have multiple sections, with one of the sections being movable to a storage position to expose a portion of the head or neck of a user.
