Test results prove that Iron Duck's Ultra-Vue 16" is among the most rigid boards in any weight class, outperforming competitors at weights up to 1,000 lbs. In addition to the lowest deflection rates the Vue is X-ray translucent, MRI and CT scan compatible and offers a float capacity of 250 lbs. Flat patient surface won't compromise CPR efforts or aggravate cervical spine injuries (as concave boards may). The Vue 16 is fabricated with an impervious roto-molded HDPE shell over non-toxic eco-friendly foam. Subtle surface texture prevents slippage but is easy to clean and disinfect. Speed clip holes are separate from oversized hand-holds to facilitate accurate strapping. The Vue 16 ships with 10 two inch long reflective strips for added safety in low light situations.
