The XTRA™ backboard is one of the most significant developments in patient transport. For several years, many backboards have been designed on the basis of X-ray translucence (radio-transparency) instead of rigidity, at the expense of patient safety. XTRA™ has been designed to provide the ultimate in X-ray translucence with the rigidity that is needed to protect the patient from further injury. The smooth surface allows for easy cleaning and disinfecting, while the construction of the XTRA™ prevents the intrusion of liquids into the board. XTRA™ will float an adult and has been tested to loads in excess of 1000lb without breaking.

• Nearly as rigid as our well-known HDx line, XTRA™'s unique patent-pending design will support loads in excess of 400lb with minimal deflection
• XTRA™ also has high buoyancy for water rescue
• This rigidity helps ensure the safety of your patient during transport, while the X-ray translucency allows for easy viewing of post-trauma X-rays
• XTRA™ works with all head immobilizers and strapping systems, is easily cleaned and will not retain pathogens
