Kendrick Extrication Device for Sale

The Kendrick Extrication Device is a semi-rigid spinal immobilization vest that stabilizes the head, neck, and thoracic spine of a seated trauma patient before extraction from a vehicle or confined space. It prevents spinal movement during the transition from a seated to a supine position, reducing the risk of secondary neurological injury in patients with suspected cervical or thoracic spine trauma.

The device features a slatted rigid back panel housed within a padded vest body, three color-coded torso straps applied in a defined middle-top-bottom sequence, two leg straps anchoring the lower vest around the upper thighs, and padded lateral head blocks with a forehead retention strap completing head immobilization. Foam padding fills the space between the rigid back panel and the patient’s lumbar curve to eliminate internal movement after application. The full device weighs between 1.2 and 1.8 kg depending on the manufacturer variant and packs flat into a carrying bag for ambulance and rescue kit storage.

A practiced two-person team applies the KED in three to five minutes following cervical collar application. The application sequence is standardized across emergency medical training curricula, making it a familiar tool for trained first responders without requiring device-specific retraining. The device is compatible with standard long spine boards and stretcher systems for patient transfer after extrication.

In Pakistan, the KED is available for procurement by ambulance services, hospital emergency departments, military medical units, civil defense rescue teams, and private trauma response organizations requiring certified spinal immobilization equipment for vehicle accident and confined space extrication scenarios across the country.
