| | Vacuum Mattress |
 | | A vacuum mattress, or vacmat, is a medical device used for the immobilisation of patients, especially in case of a vertebra, pelvis or limb trauma (especially for femur trauma). |
 | | A sheet is put on the mattress, closer to the casualty; # the casualty is put on their side, with a procedure that is similar to the recovery position; # the team member at the legs pushes the mattress against the back of the casualty. |
 | | The ground sheet helps to slide the mattress on the floor; # the casualty is put on their back, overlapping the side of the mattress; # the casualty is centred on the mattress; the sheet helps sliding the casualty on the mattress; # the straps are tied to mould the mattress. |
