• Eliminates possibility of patient’s hands getting caught in cot mechanisms

• Allows rescuers to keep both hands for carrying instead of “holding”
• Smoother transitions from scene to cot

Patient transport without the Hand-Eª device

Patient transport with the Hand-Eª device

Application

Step 1   Slide Hand-E™ onto the center backboard strap with the clip, toward the patient's feet and the slot toward the patient's head. This prevents the device from sliding up during transport.

Step 2   Place both of the patient's hands (palms toward the patient's head) in the wrist slots as illustrated.

Step 3   Select the appropriate notch on the Hand-E™ based upon your patient's wrist diameter. Notches allow for a variety of wrist sizes from young children to adults.
