FERNO Model 125 K.E.D.

The Model 125 Kendrick Extrication Device (K.E.D.) immobilizes the torso, head, and neck, enabling prompt extrication of patients from auto accidents and other confined spaces while minimizing risks of further injury.

The two-part, wrap-around design provides horizontal flexibility for easy application and vertical rigidity for maximum support of the spine, neck, and head during extrication. The Model 125 K.E.D. also adapts to a hip and pelvic splint by simple inversion. The Model 125 K.E.D. can be used for multiple patient sizes, including children and pregnant women.

X-rays or advanced life support procedures can be performed with the Model 125 K.E.D. in place, as adjustable, fold-back sides permit easy access to the patient’s chest. Color-coded sewn-in securing straps and snaplock buckles help quickly secure patients, and built-in handles enable rescuers to get a firm grip on the patient and the Model 125 K.E.D. as one unit. The K.E.D. does not interfere with the application of anti-shock trousers.
