spine-board
Trauma transport board
A spine-board is a rigid, flat board used in emergency medicine to immobilize a person with a suspected spinal injury during transport.
The patient is strapped to the board to prevent movement that could worsen damage to the spine: Paramedics carefully transferred him onto the spine-board.
Also called a backboard.
