Head/neck immobilizers are reusable medical devices designed to stabilize the head and neck during transport or emergency care when spinal or head trauma is suspected. They prevent movement of the cervical spine, reducing the risk of further injury while ensuring safe patient handling in pre-hospital or clinical settings.
These devices are typically regulated as medical equipment, often requiring compliance with safety and performance standards for reuse, sterilization, and material compatibility. They may be supplied as part of trauma kits or as standalone solutions, with designs prioritizing x-ray transparency and MRI safety for diagnostic imaging.
