12 Reasons to choose the FASPLINT™ over other limited use fixation splints:

  • The FASPLINT™ conforms to any shape or angle. The splint is made to fit the patient, instead of manipulating the patient to fit the splint

  • The FASPLINT™ can be applied quickly and effectively in the field. You can apply the FASPLINT, evacuate it, and secure it in place in half the time needed to properly apply a board splint or air splint. Evacuation time for the Medium splint is less than 5 seconds

  • The FASPLINT™ does not apply any circumferential pressure on the injured area. Trauma surgeons prefer vacuum technology because vacuum immobilisers eliminate the potential for tissue, nerve and vessel damage

  • The tapered shape of the FASPLINT™ is anatomically appropriate for immobilizing extremity injuries

  • Low cost means that if a FASPLINT™ is lost, flies away on a helicopter, or is too soiled to be used again, the replacement cost is minimize

  • Quality vinyl provides excellent patient comfort and makes the splint easy to form, even in cold temperatures

  • The FASPLINT™ can be evacuated using the same EVAC-U-SPLINT manual pump with a tapered adapter tip or a portable suction unit

  • Simple instructional pictograms make application and removal at the hospital easy to understand for all healthcare providers

  • All brands of medical tape can be used to secure the FASPLINT™ in place

  • Three popular sizes make the FASPLINT™ an easy choice for a variety of patients. The large splint is ideal for leg and shoulder injuries or as a small child immobiliser. The medium splint is the splint of choice for adult arms and ankles. The small splint works well for wrist fractures and dislocations, as well as child arm and leg injuries

  • Bright safety orange color is easy to spot, even at night

  • Conforming nature of the FASPLINT™ provides comfort and secure immobilisation quickly and efficiently, minimizing on-scene time

Fasplint™ valve operation

The pull/push valve enables the splint to be evacuated by handpump, or by other powered pumps, for many times, which means the splints can be reused regularly.
These pictograms are printed clearly on every Fasplint for ease of use.
