FARETEC · Malleable Splint FARETEC Redi Splint Immobilizer A US-made malleable utility splint: a dead-soft aluminium alloy core sheathed in Volara closed-cell cross-linked foam, stiffer than wire- or thin-gauge-core alternatives yet moldable to a limb by hand alone. Cuts with trauma shears, doubles as an IV arm board. This listing sells the black colourway. Dead-soft aluminium coreVolara closed-cell foamHand-moldable · shear-cuttableMade in USA Closed-cell foam is the quiet spec here. Open-cell padding drinks blood and holds it, which is why a splint that looks fine after a call may not be one you want back in the bag. What's Included One splint, black. Read the length and width note before you order — it is the one number this listing does not give you. VIEW ▾Black — the single colourway on this listing · SKU MEDTAC0696 1× FARETEC Redi Splint — dead-soft aluminium alloy core laminated inside Volara closed-cell cross-linked foam, black Length, width and whether the splint ships folded or flat are NOT specified on this listing. FARETEC produces the Redi Splint in multiple lengths and widths and in both folded and flat formats; the legacy copy names the range but never names which one this SKU is. Confirm the size against MEDTAC0696 before ordering to a stocking standard or a bid line. Ships as the bare splint. No cravats, no roller gauze, no tape, no sling and no packaging insert are included — bring your own securing material, because a malleable splint holds a shape but does not hold itself to a limb. Yellow is a FARETEC colourway but is not sold on this listing. Black is the only option value here. ▾Specifications FARETEC Redi Splint Immobilizer — specifications Specification Detail Manufacturer FARETEC — made in the USA SKU MEDTAC0696 Colour on this listing Black (FARETEC also produces yellow; not sold here) Core material "Dead-soft" aluminium alloy — stated by the manufacturer to be more rigid than competing wire- or thin-gauge-core foam splints Padding Volara closed-cell cross-linked foam — does not absorb fluids, resists compression set, retains cushioning through repeated use Moldability Shaped by hand pressure alone; no heat, no tools Field sizing Can be cut down with trauma shears. A cut edge exposes aluminium — fold or pad it before it touches a patient. Formats produced Folded or flat, in multiple lengths and widths Length / width of this SKU Not published on this listing — see the contents note Weight Not published on this listing Secondary use Serviceable as an IV arm board Reuse Not stated. Reprocessing or single-patient-use policy is not published in the manufacturer data reproduced here. Latex content Not stated on this listing Sterility Non-sterile — this is an external immobilisation device, not a wound-contact dressing Radiolucency Not stated. An aluminium core is not radiolucent; do not assume it can stay on through imaging without confirming with the manufacturer and your radiology protocol. Core material, padding material, moldability, format range, origin and SKU are as published in the manufacturer data reproduced on the previous version of this listing. The comparative rigidity statement is FARETEC's own claim and is printed as such. Four things a buyer usually wants are simply absent from that data — the length and width of this SKU, its weight, its latex content and its reuse policy — and rather than guess at them this page says so. Get them from FARETEC in writing before you standardise on this item. This page carries no splinting indications, no application technique, no traction guidance and no neurovascular assessment steps. Deciding that a limb needs immobilising, choosing the position to splint it in, and checking distal circulation, sensation and motor function before and after are trained clinical skills governed by your scope of practice and your protocols. ▾Who Carries It Ground EMS and fire rescue stocking a malleable splint that covers wrist through ankle from one SKU · Tactical and military medics who need something that folds flat into a bag and molds without heat or a vacuum pump · Wilderness, SAR and expedition medicine, where a splint that can be cut to size in the field beats five pre-sized ones you did not carry · Athletic trainers and event medical covering extremity injuries on the sideline · Clinics and aid stations using it as an IV arm board as often as a splint. Two practical notes. Mold it against the uninjured matching limb or your own forearm first, then transfer the shape — shaping it on the patient is how you turn a splint into a manipulation. And if you cut it, deal with the edge: bare aluminium under a cravat will find skin over a long transport. Splinting decisions, positioning and neurovascular checks belong to your training and your medical direction; this page describes a device and its materials, not a procedure.
