Splints are used to immobilize injured areas in emergency and remote situations. They are durable, waterproof, reusable, lightweight, and are invisible on x-rays. They are an ideal splint for trauma first aid kits.
The quick splint is constructed of strips of soft aluminum with a polyvinyl coating. This metal presents no impediment to X-rays. When folded into a "structural bend" longitudinally the splint becomes quite rigid and easily supports the leg, forearm or humorous. It can also be contoured and crimped to stabilize the cervical spine. The coating on the quick splint does not stain and the splint is reusable with proper cleaning.
