Dealmed Kendrick Extrication Device (KED)

This Kendrick Extrication Device (KED) is ideal for extricating and immobilizing patients from auto accidents and other confined spaces. The K.E.D. immobilizes the torso, head and neck, enabling prompt extrication while minimizing risks of further injury. X-rays or advanced life support procedures can be performed with the K.E.D. in place. The wrap-around design of the device provides horizontal flexibility for easy application and vertical rigidity for maximum support of the spine, neck, and head during extrication.
