The Original Ferno K.E.D.® is ideal for extricating and immobilizing patients from auto accidents and other confined spaces. The wrap-around design provides horizontal flexibility for easy application and vertical rigidity for maximum support of the spine, neck, and head during extrication. 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.
