Kendrick Extraction Device

Kendrick Extraction Device

At the scene of a vehicle crash, moving a casualty with a suspected spinal injury out of a seated position is one of the highest-risk parts of the rescue. The Kendrick Extraction Device (KED) is the semi-rigid vest that immobilises the head, neck, and torso so a seated patient can be lifted clear without flexing the spine.

Straps secure across the chest, abdomen, and thighs, with head support that holds cervical alignment through the lift and the carry. It's standard gear for EMS crews, mine sites, and industrial settings where vehicle or confined-space extrication is a genuine risk.

A KED is one part of a vehicle and field response. It pairs with the trauma rescue kits that carry the bleed and dressing gear, and with in-vehicle cover from the vehicle first aid kits range. The clinical background on immobilisation and injury handling sits in our wound care guide. Call the FAD team on 03 5443 2239 for advice on specifying extrication gear for your site.

Always read the instructions for use.
