Introducing the WauK™ board: a Spinal Immobilization Board with the Features of a Dolly

The WauK™ board’s one-of-a-kind, patented design adds the functionality of a dolly to a conventional backboard, allowing a first responder to extract an immobilized patient from tight, restricted spaces without back injury to the first responder. This unique dolly feature allows first responders to:

- Roll a patient, rather than carry a patient
- Remove patients from the most constricted locations
- Prevent career limiting back injuries
- Prevent movement of the patient during transport

In a mass casualty event the unique dolly feature of the WauK™ board allows one first responder to transfer patients when manpower is limited.
