The new AllMed® SpeedStrap™ is a 12-point strap system that uses plastic buckles instead of hook and loop attachments. It is fast to apply and much easier to clean.The SpeedStrap is manufactured of high-quality and fluid resistant Polypropylene webbing. All stress points are bar-tacked and box stitched, for the ultimate in long-lasting and reliable performance.
Just line the top Red Colored Strap with the top of the chest wall and secure them up tightly in the patients’ armpits (under the arms). Then, everything else lines up by itself. The 4” wide center panel leaves the chest wall visible, and even fits most women comfortably.
Quick-release buckles makes the SPEEDSTRAP easy to apply and adjust. Simply pull on the straps for a perfect snug fit on any patient. With individual buckles you can release any single part of the patient to make adjustments or take readings without unsecuring them from the backboard.
No complex folding: It stays on the backboard ready-to-go
Immobilizing the lower legs in transit is important. It prevents further injury due to legs slipping off
the spineboard, stopping the rocking motion that will create more soft tissue and bone damage after
injury and increases blood flow loss due to improperly securing the lower extremities.
This immobilizer was designed to provide firm steady support without compromising patient comfort
to the lower extremities while being transported on a spine board. Often the frustrated rescuer may
over tighten board straps to keep the legs from slipping, inadvertently causing more damage. The
ease of use will make this a must have for all EMS professionals.
The Velcro straps can permanently secure the Leg immobilizer to your spine boards or can be
quickly deployed on scene. The Velcro straps then secure the lower portion of the patients legs to
the comfortable immobilizer for transport.
