Developed by the researchers at The University of Texas Research Institute, the Adaptive Spine Board is a revolutionary instrument that can be implemented atop a standard stretcher or spine board to reduce pressure injuries caused by long immobilization during emergency rescues. The air-cell technology and sensor-driven pressure modulation used in its construction are significantly better at redistributing pressure than traditional evacuation surfaces. This is particularly a game changer for patients who cannot be repositioned during transport. Not only will it minimize the possibility of further injuries but also save significant costs in additional health care expenses each year.
