Versatile Fracture Management in Bulk The Elite First Aid Universal Splint (12 Pack) is the cost-effective solution for outfitting large teams, classrooms, or mass casualty kits. C omparable to the SAM® Splint, this versatile tool is built from a thin core of soft aluminum sandwiched between layers of closed-cell foam. It is lightweight, pliable, and immensely strong once formed into structural curves (like a U-shape or C-curve). This case of 12 ensures that every medic, vehicle, or student has immediate access to critical immobilization equipment for stabilizing fractured limbs, sprained joints, or neck injuries. Key Features Universal Application: Can be molded to splint almost any bone in the body, from splinting a finger to immobilizing a humerus or acting as an impromptu cervical collar. Structural Strength: While soft enough to cut with scissors, the aluminum core becomes rigid once bent into a "C" or "T" curve, providing superior support for fractures. Radiolucent Design: The foam and aluminum construction is transparent to X-rays, allowing doctors to image the injury without removing the splint and causing further pain. Cut-to-Fit: Easily cut with standard EMT shears to create finger splints or custom supports for pediatric patients. Bulk Value: Supplied as a Case of 12, making it perfect for stocking EMS jump bags, training centers, and disaster response caches. Why It Matters Immobilization is the first step in pain management and preventing further tissue damage. A flopping broken bone can sever arteries or nerves during transport. The Universal Splint provides a rigid framework that locks the limb in place. Its waterproof, reusable (if disinfected), and lightweight design makes it superior to heavy plaster or rigid board splints for field use. How to Use & Problem Solving This splint adapts to the injury. Size: Measure the splint against the uninjured limb to determine the correct length. Form: Fold the splint to create a "C-Curve" (lengthwise) or "T-Curve" to add rigidity. Apply: Mold the splint to the injured limb, ensuring the joint above and below the fracture is immobilized. Secure: Wrap with Elastic Bandages or Self-Adherent Wrap (Coban) to hold the splint in place. Check: Ensure pulse, motor, and sensory function (PMS) remains intact after application. Technical Overview The case contains 12 individually packaged splints. Each splint measures 4" Wide x 36" Long. The material is Radiolucent foam-padded aluminum Show more
