Jems Magazine featured the Trauma Backboard in their product review section of the May 2009 issue:
One Size Fits All Spines
When a 9-1-1 caller says "Baby fell and fractured his skull," and the residence is on the fourth floor, a certain images comes to mind. We'll likely bring the pediatric-sized backboard and c-collars into the apartment and groan when we realize the "baby" is 42 years old, 275 lbs. and in the midst of a seizure. The Trauma Board 1000 from Trauma Technologies has slots to accommodate straps for pediatric and adult patients. This way, providers don't have to trek down the steps and back to get the adult-sized backboard. Plus, the board was developed with specially placed cavities to reduce pressure on the fifth and sixth cervical region for both pediatric and adult patients.
