Kendrick Extrication Device (K.E.D.)

The Kendrick Extrication Device (K.E.D.) Pro is an essential tool for emergency responders, providing reliable immobilization of the torso, head, and neck to facilitate the safe extrication of patients from vehicles and confined spaces while minimizing the risk of further injury. The device’s two-part, wrap-around design offers horizontal flexibility for swift application and vertical rigidity to support the spine, neck, and head during extrication.

With the K.E.D. Pro, X-rays and advanced life support procedures can be conducted without removing the device, enhancing its utility in critical situations. The built-in handles allow rescuers to secure a firm grip on both the patient and the K.E.D. Pro, ensuring stable and controlled extrication. The device supports a general use load limit of 550 pounds and a technical rescue load limit of 330 pounds, including single-person lifts for vertical and confined space rescues.

The K.E.D. Pro incorporates several advanced features to improve ease of use and patient safety. Wider head support flaps and more compact head and neck support pads simplify application, while the one-piece leg strap, running through the spine to form a continuous loop, facilitates secure connections to ropes and carabiners. The wider, rigid spinal panel reduces rotation and flexion, and the metal leg and chest strap buckles enhance durability and security.

A deceleration shoulder strap aids in proper positioning and prevents patient movement during vehicle deceleration. The device also features two lower and one upper rear carrying handles to facilitate rescue operations, and color-coded, sewn-in securing straps for straightforward application. The K.E.D. Pro comes with a carrying case that includes an integrated backpack for easy transport.

Rated for vertical and confined-space rescues, the K.E.D. Pro requires specialized training for optimal use. Its radiolucent design, except for the metal buckles, ensures compatibility with imaging procedures.
