The AEROSPLINT Short Aluminium Foam Splint is a highly adaptive splint that can be rolled, folded or formed into almost any shape, then held with a support bandage. Immobilisation limits further injury while a casualty is moved or waits for help, and quality immobilisation is integral to the recovery of skeletal injuries. At 22cm this is the short splint, for wrists, hands and forearms where a 90cm length would need cutting down. Shrink-wrapped for protection, 22 x 11cm.

Aluminium Foam Splint FAQs
Why an aluminium foam splint rather than a rigid one?
Adaptability. A rigid splint fits one shape; a mouldable aluminium splint bends to the limb and holds that shape, so a single splint covers wrists, forearms, ankles and lower legs. It also cuts to length if needed.
How is it secured?
With a support bandage over the splint — a conforming or crepe bandage is usual. The splint provides the rigidity; the bandage holds it against the limb. Firmly, but never so tight that circulation is affected below it.
Which size should a kit carry?
A 90cm splint covers the most ground because it can be cut or folded down, so it is the sensible single choice. Sites that see a lot of hand and wrist injuries often add the short 22cm as well.
Can it be reused?
It can be re-formed and reused for training and non-clinical purposes, and should be inspected first — a splint that has been sharply creased or torn no longer holds shape reliably. For treating a fresh injury, use a clean splint.
