Head Immobilizer for LSB

SKU: NAR-50-0020

North American Rescue

The NAR Head Immobilizer is a compact, easy-to-use device that limits lateral head movement and helps maintain the head in a neutral, in-line position during extrication and transfer. Built from soft, closed-cell foam with hook-and-loop padded straps, it secures quickly to a long spine board while keeping the ears and head accessible so providers can continue their assessment without removing the device.

Product Highlights

  • Provides quick, effective cervical head restraint as part of a spinal motion restriction (SMR) strategy.
  • Soft, closed-cell foam construction with hook-and-loop padded straps for a secure, comfortable hold.
  • Ears and head remain accessible without removing the device, supporting ongoing patient assessment and airway monitoring.
  • Lightweight and compact at 2 lb 2.8 oz — easy to stage on a rig, in a bag, or with rescue kits.
  • Secures to standard long spine boards; head blocks help hold the head neutral and in-line with the torso.
  • HSA/FSA eligible and NSN-assigned (6530-01-619-1777) for agency and government purchasing.

Clinical Context: Where a Head Immobilizer Fits in Modern SMR

Current joint guidance from the ACS-COT, ACEP, and NAEMSP frames prehospital spine care as spinal motion restriction rather than rigid, prolonged immobilization. A properly sized cervical collar remains central to SMR, with the long spine board used chiefly as an extrication and transfer tool rather than a transport surface. When a patient is packaged on a board, a head immobilizer limits lateral head movement and helps keep the head aligned with the torso during moves. Indications for applying spinal precautions after blunt trauma commonly include altered mental status, midline spinal tenderness, focal neurologic deficit, intoxication, or a distracting injury. As always, airway, breathing, and oxygenation take priority, and time on rigid surfaces should be minimized to reduce discomfort and pressure injury.

  • Restraint straps: Patient Restraint Strap with Metal Buckle, Black — secure the torso and limbs to the board during transfer.
  • Cervical collar: A properly sized rigid collar remains the primary SMR device and should be applied per your local protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a spine board come with the head immobilizer?
No. The spine board is sold separately. The NAR Head Immobilizer secures to standard long spine boards. Pacific Biomedical stocks a compatible option — the Deluxe Long Spine Board, Green — which can be ordered alongside it.
Do I still need a cervical collar with this device?
Yes. Under current ACS-COT/ACEP/NAEMSP guidance, a properly sized cervical collar is the primary component of spinal motion restriction. The head immobilizer is a complementary device that limits lateral head movement once the patient is packaged. Always follow your agency's protocol.
How is the NAR Head Immobilizer cleaned?
The closed-cell foam surface can be wiped down with an approved hospital-grade disinfectant per your facility's infection-control protocol. Inspect the foam and hook-and-loop straps regularly and remove any unit from service if the foam is compromised or the straps no longer hold securely.

Yes. Pacific Biomedical supplies genuine, factory-fresh North American Rescue products sourced through authorized channels. Every item ships in original manufacturer packaging.
