Description

The Multi-Grip was designed by a fire-fighter in 1989. Today this effective CID is used across the United States, as well as in Canada. It comes in three sizes: adult head immobilizer, child head immobilizer and infant / pediatric head immobilizer.

Multi-Grip vs Other CID’s

Cost effective / disposable	Non-disposables are expensive to replace & require costly cleaners
Simple & ready to use	Some CID’s need assemply or have multiple steps before ready
No need to attach to backboards first or reposition which can move patient	Sticky strips: can be placed in wrong position, repositioning compromises adhesive & leaves residue which dirt adheres to Velcro: attracts debris & becomes less effective over time
Works on all backboards, including baskets & scoops	Most CID’s will not work on all types of backboards – especially scoops
Waterproof, buoyant	Some CID’s lose stability when wet or soiled
Works in a variety of unique & critical situations: motorcycle/race-car/football helmets, infant car seats, etc	Many immobilizers will not work in these important situations
The Multi-Grip’s exclusive head strap has stategically placed foam strips – strap sticks to backboard but NOT to patient’s hair/skin	Most straps stick to patient’s hair, eyebrows and skin which can later cause pain, discomfort and/or allergic reaction to adhesive
100 % latex free	Not all CID’s are 100% latex free
Can be written on for quick notation	Unable to write on all CID’s
