The BETTERBoard marks the first major innovations to the backboard in decades. Our team of firefighters, medics, and engineers have developed a new paradigm that addresses and mitigates the shortcomings of the traditional backboard:
 
Antimicrobial surface- prevents mold, mildew, and bacteria including MRSA
Comfort Pad- prevents pressure sores and ulcers
Disposable straps and Comfort Pad- prevent cross-contamination
A removable center section of the Comfort Pad for application of ice packs.
Ergonomic handles- grasp and lift without tilting the board
Water rescue- The BETTERBoard floats and will support 200 lbs
Drastically increased weight capacity of 750 lbs
