The NAJO RediWide is 18" wide for patient situations that require "more backboard". The board is 1.75" thick, with angled edges for smooth log-rolls and painless patient placement. Rectangular shape allows patient placement from either end. Strong, lightweight, one-piece HDPE construction is impervious to all bodily fluids, is easy to decontaminate, and provides 100% x-ray translucency. This board is also buoyant and can be used to float a patient in the water.
