Advanced EMS Designs

The “Board Armor” disposable backboard cover is designed to minimize contamination of patients by providing a barrier to protect patients being placed on spine boards in the pre-hospital setting. The “Board Armor” backboard cover is a critical component in reducing possibly fatal secondary infections acquired from exposure to infectious bacteria that are frequently found on backboards. The barrier

provided by the cover is also helpful in protecting patients from possible contaminations from hazardous materials. Additional benefits of the disposable backboard cover include faster turn around time to place backboards in service, easier clean up of both backboards and transport units, and better patient protection especially during mass casualty situations.
