Earlier models of the VSB were thicker, heavier and had more material on the sides. Bo Renberg was able to re-invent the product after ambulances/EMS needed more space in the Ambulance and Helicopters. The newer models serve the search and rescue community with a slimmed-down lighter product with more rigidity and durable engineering.

The 6 foot VSB is 6 feet long by 32 inches wide

The 7 foot VSB is 7 feet long by 34 inches wide

The Bariatric is 7 ½ feet long by 42 inches wide

The Vacuum Spine Board (VSB) offers quick, comfortable, and easy full-body immobilization for suspected spine, pelvic, or hip fractures and multiple-fracture patients. The VSB offers exceptional water rescue properties and can aid in hypothermia prevention. A specially designed pelvic strap system easily adjusts to the right level over the pelvic area with unique "click on" fasteners. A valve adapter is supplied for using portable suction units. This product is both MRI compatible and X-Ray translucent. The Vacuum Spine Board is several sizes, and folds to a compact size when not in use. A carrying case is supplied for easy storage. All straps and lifting handles are color-coded, comfortable, and easy to remove, clean, or replace. The standard ½" (12.5 mm) US/Europe 2-piece valve is easy to operate with heavy gloves on and easy to clean or replace.

A multi-chamber system with 18 different size chambers allows the beads to stay in place, even in a vertical application.
