The Universal Medical Extra Large Papoose Board solves the frustrating problem of temporarily restraining injured or frightened patients (intended for teenagers-adults) for medical or dental treatment. A struggling, frantic patient can be completely immobilized in less than 60 seconds on our Extra Large Papoose Board. Later, while the patient is securely and safely held, the physician can expose any part of the patient's body for examination or treatment.Our Papoose Boards are unique because they are radiolucent. Other papoose boards contain metal which will artifact during diagnostic imaging procedures. If you need to temporarily restrain a patient while taking an X-ray our metal free papoose board will not artifact on your image.Complete Set Includes: 1 Board, 1 Padded Three Tier Flap Set, 1 Padded Head Strap, 4 Arm/Wrist StrapsExtra Large Papoose Board Weight: 12 lbsExtra Large Papoose Board Dimensions: 60" L x 17" Wide (at widest point)Designed for use with patients with a maximum girth of 40", larger patients will require the use of extender flapsLatex FreeMRI SafeHanging Hole for Easy StoragePapoose Boards work on the proven splint principle of binding the patient to a rigid board to suppress struggling. The board is quickly and easily applied using three sets of opposing canvas flaps with Velcro fasteners that fold over the patient's body. The diagonal shape of the board allows the flaps to crisscross, providing a snug-fitting restraint. The four arm/wrist straps can be used for additional arm immobilization within the straps or when the torso strap is to be open. An adjustable head strap is also included for use in stabilizing the patient's head. Papoose Boards are less alarming than other comparable restraints. The patient is immobilized so quickly and securely that futile struggling is discouraged. Unlike manual restraints, the Papoose Board does not cast the caregiver in the role of being the patient's antagonist.
