Established in 1974, Carrum Downs-based Ferno Australia are providers of neuro spinal microscopes, ENT microscopes, dental microscopes, ophthalmology microscopes, gynaecology microscopes, co observation systems, and surgical microscope adapters. The company is developer, manufacturer and global distributor of equipment designed to enhance the skills and performance level of their medical users. Ferno Australia provide the Oregon Spine Splint II for SKED rescue
. The Oregon Spine Splint II equipment that the company provides were designed for use with the SKED rescue stretchers. These splints therefore store perfectly inside the rolled up stretcher. These spine splints from Ferno have been specifically designed to assist with the extraction and immobilisation of the head and cervical spine. When used in conjunction with the SKED, these splints function as a long spine board. Therefore, these splints are efficient to use.
Oregon Spine Splints have been built to last under rugged conditions. So these splints include a shoulder board that prevents compression of a patient in the SKED. Oregon Spine Splints are X-ray transparent and they weigh as little as 3.2 kg. They are therefore easy to use as well.
