Aquamentor ABS Plastic 18" Pinned Backboard

Aquamentor ABS Plastic 18" Pinned Backboard – Aquatic Spinal Injury Management

The Aquamentor 18" ABS Plastic Pinned Backboard is essential spinal management equipment for any aquatic facility where spinal injury protocol is required during emergency response. The ABS construction is lightweight enough for a single lifeguard to manage in the water, neutrally buoyant when submerged, and immune to corrosion from chlorinated pool water. The pinned strap system secures the victim to the board during in-water stabilization and extraction.

Designed for In-Water Spinal Management

Unlike wooden or fiberglass backboards that warp, absorb water, and degrade in pool environments, ABS plastic maintains its rigidity and shape indefinitely. The board is smooth-surfaced for ease of cleaning and decontamination after use. Strap pins are stainless steel or corrosion-resistant hardware to prevent seizing in pool environments. Required training equipment for all lifeguard certification programs that include spinal injury management.
