Description

This week's presenter: Spanton Dynamics (ISA Fall 2021 Cohort) This week's presenter: Spanton DynamicsThe Spanton Board is a revolutionary patent-pending power driven spine board that contours underneath an injured person and operates like a conveyor belt. The upper belt moves in one direction, while the undercarriage belt moves in the opposite direction creating a loading platform that minimizes movement of the patient. Its purpose is to collect and immobilize a patient with minimal movement. Its design allows for the successful lifting and securing of patients at the emergency scene, prior to transport to a medical facility. The Spanton board will initially be sold to the NFL, with plans to expand into the NHL, universities, emergency response and ambulance services, military, and high schools.
