• Maximum portability in critical spaces (Foldable in 4): The decomposition and folding into four sections minimizes logistical bulk, allowing storage even in compact vehicles such as medical motorcycles and rescue helicopters.
• Immediate field readiness: The patented mechanism with sliding and integral longitudinal beams allows for extremely rapid assembly and stiffening of the board, minimizing intervention times on trauma patients.
• Optimization of the ‘Log Roll’ maneuver: The ultra-thin thickness of only 5 mm makes sliding under the patient’s body smooth and precise, facilitating lateral rotation operations and reducing spinal column movements.
• Absolute suitability for vertical and cave rescue: The specific preparation for pairing with winchable rescue blankets ensures maximum reliability during air recovery operations with HEMS or in deep underground environments.
• Structural rigidity with reduced weight: The carbon fiber structure combines low weight compared to traditional wooden or plastic stretchers with inflexible rigidity, guaranteeing perfect immobilization of the spine.

This foldable spine board finds its optimal application in first aid and stabilization operations managed by HEMS services, cave rescue, alpine teams, emergency ambulances, medical motorcycles, and special civil protection departments. Thanks to its excellent resistance in rugged environments and dimensions of 182 x 42 cm, it represents the ideal tool for use in contexts of mountain recovery, caves, disaster scenarios, and rapid interventions in busy urban areas where the space and weight of technical equipment are strictly limited.

The h1046_01 spine board is the correct choice when the emergency rescue protocol demands a rigid yet 4-part foldable immobilization device, suitable for winching and constructed from carbon fiber. It is clearly preferable to single-piece polyethylene spine boards in contexts where storage space on vehicles is limited or where shoulder transport in rugged areas requires minimal bulk. Choosing this patented product, entirely made in Italy, means investing in a 5 mm thick solution that optimizes the log roll maneuver, ensuring geometric and structural precision for the most delicate medical procedures.

How does the rapid stiffening system of this spine board work considering its four-part folding structure?

Although the h1046_01 board is foldable into four distinct modules to facilitate transport, its monolithic structural rigidity during use is guaranteed by a mechanical system of sliding and integral longitudinal beams. This mechanism allows for lightning-fast alignment and locking of the articulated sections directly at the rescue site, transforming the equipment into an inflexible spine board in seconds and without the aid of external tools.

What advantages does the thickness of only 5 mm of the carbon fiber board offer during patient immobilization maneuvers?

The reduced thickness of only 5 mm is a decisive technical factor for the correct execution of the “Log Roll” maneuver (the lateral rotation of the trauma patient). By reducing the insertion step compared to traditional plastic stretchers which are much thicker, the carbon board slides under the body, reducing stress and unwanted secondary movements of the patient’s spine, increasing overall safety.

What are the exact dimensional data and the real weight of the stretcher identifiable from the warehouse documentation?

As verifiable in the structured geometric data of the technical survey (files image_d51177.png / image_d2bcde.png), the open spine board has an exact longitudinal length of 182 cm and a width of 42 cm, with a profile thickness of 5 mm. The total net weight of the assembled module is 6.8 kg, a value that ensures mechanical stability and optimal mass management during complex lifts in air rescue operations.
