With over 25 years of demonstrated roadside rescue expertise informing its design, this system directly addresses the persistent challenges rescue professionals face. While modern roadside procedures (like those emphasised by the EXIT project) have evolved the use of cervical collars, c-spine management—including collar application—remains a critical and frequent procedure in motorsport rescue.

Our experience has repeatedly shown that when access is restricted, rescuers are often forced to manually hold the patient forward to apply a collar or the BOA. This commonly results in three major issues:

1. Patient Risk: Creating dangerous pinch points and placing the patient in stressful, unsupported positions.

2. Rescuer Strain: Leading to awkward, non-ergonomic stress positions for rescuers.

3. Compromised Stability: Causing tension from the patient as they try to instinctively maintain their own position, potentially compromising spinal stability.

This unit includes one small and one large cushion, specifically engineered to overcome these common spatial limitations posed by modern vehicle design, which include non-removable headrests, shoulder shrouds, and deeply contoured bucket seats.

By instantaneously and safely creating crucial space around the patient, the Buck-e Cushion eliminates the need for manual manipulation. It allows for a full 360-degree access for safe extrication and device application, including the BOA. This product is intended for use as an essential extrication aid, offering a safe, comfortable, and necessary solution for rescue professionals in both varied vehicle and high-stakes motorsport settings.
