The Ferno Spinal Board is a professional-grade immobilisation and extrication device, originally issued to British Army medical units and field hospitals. Engineered for the rapid transport of casualties with suspected spinal or limb injuries, these boards are constructed from high-impact, foam-filled ABS or HDPE plastic. Designed to provide a rigid, flat surface for full-body support, the Ferno board is a standard piece of genuine military surplus hardware, built to withstand the rigorous demands of field rescue, vehicle extrication, and maritime recovery.
Technical Build & Functional Features
-
Rugged Construction: Manufactured from high-density, foam-filled plastic that is impervious to bodily fluids, chemicals, and extreme temperatures.
-
X-Ray Translucent: The radiolucent material allows for diagnostic imaging and CT scans to be performed without removing the casualty from the board, minimising unnecessary movement.
-
Ergonomic Handling: Features multiple oversized handholds around the perimeter, allowing for secure grip and balanced carrying by multiple personnel even in thick gloves.
-
Confined Space Design: The tapered profile and slim depth (approx. 45-50mm) allow the board to be manoeuvred easily within vehicles, narrow corridors, or basket stretchers.
-
Buoyant Properties: Inherently buoyant, making it suitable for water-based rescue operations or pool-side casualty management.

Integrated Pin System: Typically equipped with speed-clip pins for the rapid attachment of spider straps or head immobilisers.
