Air Splint

Air splint for immobilizing and supporting injured limbs with air-filled chambers.

Introduction

An air splint uses inflatable chambers to stabilize fractures, sprains, or soft-tissue injuries. The lightweight sleeve wraps around the limb and is inflated to provide uniform pressure and support.

  • Adjustable air pressure lets you fine-tune compression for comfort and swelling control.
  • Transparent material allows visual monitoring of the injury site without removal.
  • Quick-inflate valve and compact storage make it ideal for kits and emergency responders.

Choose the correct size for the affected limb and follow inflation guidelines.
