Stop Hurting Your Back!
The WauK® board is a one-of-a-kind, patented design adds the functionality of a dolly to a conventional backboard, allowing a first responder to extricate an immobilized patient from tight, restricted spaces. It’s the ideal companion to a stair chair because the WauK® board allows rescuing patients that must remain supine (lying face up), without carrying them.
- - Roll a patient, rather than carry a patient.
- - Remove patients from the most constricted locations.
- - Prevent career limiting back injuries.
- - Prevent movement of the patient during extrication.
