Extrication splint

Kendric Extrication Device (KED) is a device that is used in Vehicle_extrication to remove a patient from a motor vehicle.

The KED is used in conjunction with a Cervical_collar to help immobilize a patient's head, neck and spine in the normal anatomical position. This position helps prevent additional injuries to these regions during Vehicle_extrication.

A KED wraps a person's head back and torso in a ridgid 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.
