Lifeguard backboards — also called spineboards — are critical emergency response tools for managing suspected spinal injuries in and around the water. When a swimmer presents with a possible neck or back injury, proper immobilization on a backboard before removal from the water can be the difference between a full recovery and permanent disability. Aquamentor stocks a full range of aquatic backboards, strapping systems, and accessories from professional-grade manufacturers.

ABS Plastic and Wood Backboards

Our backboards include the Aquamentor ABS Plastic Pinned Backboard — a 18" commercial-grade board with body straps — as well as traditional wood runner boards for facilities that require or prefer that construction. Both types are compatible with standard spineboard strapping sets including male/female quick-release buckle systems. We carry individual strap sets and full kits.

Training and Maintenance Accessories

Proper backboard use requires regular staff training on in-water patient management techniques. We carry CPR training manikins, resuscitation masks, and first aid supplies that pair with your backboard program. CO2 cartridge sets and other accessories are available for facilities that use inflatable or hybrid rescue systems.

Aquatic Emergency Preparedness

A fully stocked aquatic emergency station should include a backboard, strap set, resuscitation mask, first aid kit, and a properly maintained AED within reach of the water. Aquamentor can help you build out a complete station. Contact us at info@aquamentor.com for bulk pricing or facility audits.
