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
