Eureka XXL has two new sets of Long spine boards for January, the devices used for handling wounded in pre-hospital care.
LSBs are designed to provide rigid support during transport of a patient to avoid further injuries. Most commonly are used by ambulance staff as well as by specialised emergency personnel.

Spine boards are typically made of plastic, buoyant, completely X-ray translucent and light enough to be carried by one person. LSBs are designed to be slightly wider and longer than the average human body for immobilization straps fitting and handles for carrying the patient.

E-031 Spine board. Set contains 4 resin spine boards, 16 photo-etched elements for completing 8 belts in 1/35 scale. This kind of LSBs are mostly used by civilian emergency services as well as by ad hoc equipped units, militias or paramilitary groups. Most common are vivid red or orange but blue, yellow or olive green can be seen. Immobilization straps are mostly orange or black and buckles are made from metal or black plastic.

E-032 Spine boards US Army. Set contains 3 resin spine boards This kind of LSBs are used by the US Army units, often seen as additional equipment of vehicles used in modern conflicts like Iraq or Afghanistan. LSBs are mandatory equipment of Medevac vehicles such like M1133 Stryker Medevac. As any other military equipment military LSBs are made from olive drab plastic.

Nice addition but strange choice to put 4 types in a same box. I would prefer 4 items of 2 types. Olivier

That would make us think Eureka XXL stole the idea from RMG

Eureka XXL did not steal the idea RMG. I participated in the design of these boards. They are really great and recommend it.

I know they didn't. Just an after-reaction on a recent discussion here on Armorama: LINK Don't take it seriously.

Kit manufacturers don't think to include these sorts of accessories, so it's nice to have a good after market option.

Can you do a scoop stretcher? How about a Stokes basket?
