Technical Specifications

MaterialThey are typically made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or other high-strength, non-porous plastics to ensure durability, impact resistance, and easy cleaning/disinfection. They are often filled with foam for added rigidity.
DimensionsA standard adult long spine board generally measures between 184 to 190 cm (approx. 6 feet) in length and 44 to 50 cm (approx. 16-18 inches) in width, with a thickness of about 5 to 8 cm.
WeightThey are lightweight, typically weighing around 6.5 to 8 kg (approx. 14-18 lbs), allowing them to be carried by one person.
Load CapacityMost spine boards can support a significant load, with capacities typically ranging from 159 kg to over 300 kg (approx. 350 to 660 lbs).
RadiolucentThey are designed to be completely X-ray, CT scan, and MRI translucent, allowing for diagnostic imaging without needing to move the patient from the board.
HandholdsMultiple ergonomic handholds or grip slots are integrated around the periphery for easy handling and lifting by multiple rescuers.
Straps/HolesThey feature numerous holes and strap-retaining slots to accommodate various securing strap systems and head immobilizers.
BuoyancyMany modern plastic spine boards are buoyant, making them suitable for water rescue operations.
SurfaceThe surface is usually smooth and non-slip, repelling liquids and preventing contamination.
