XT Series Extrication Devices
Holding the cervical spine steady in place, take the
longitudinal cushion provided, checking the space created
behind the cervical spine (between the neck, helmet,
bulletproof vest and Ferno XT) (Figure 62), and roll it up
just enough to ll this space. (Figure 63).

space between the cervical spine and the XT
When the cushion is rolled up, the air contained in the
cushion will be eliminated (Figure 64). When placed behind
the cervical spine, it will naturally adapt to the remaining
empty space (Figure 65).

WARNING
Avoid inserting an excessively thick longitudinal
cushion between the cervical spine and XT MILITARY.
This would lead to subsequent bending of the head,
which is not recommended in a traumatised person
(Figure 66).
WARNING
In this section, archive images containing the
previous version of the current black cushion
were used to show the correct positioning of the
longitudinal cushion behind the neck.
