Head Immobilizer is an emergency medical device used to stabilize a patient's head and neck when a spinal or cervical spine injury is suspected. It helps minimize head movement during rescue, transport, and diagnostic imaging, reducing the risk of further injury. It is typically used together with a cervical collar and a spine board or stretcher as part of spinal motion restriction.
