Entry Description

Enreco is a pre-hospital cervical splint design under the New Spinal Injury Protocol - elimination of long spine board in emergency cervical-spine immobilization. A typical cervical collar requires combined use with the long board and the head blocks to maximize spine immobilization while Enreco collar fuses useful features from the eliminated parts into one updated design. The symmetrical fastening and symmetrical placement allow even alignment, the narrow V-shape back splint designed for easy insert behind the neck, and the shoulder restraint strips are replacing the head blocks.
