Description
The Evac-U-Splint vacuum mattress provides fast, effective and comfortable immobilization for the entire patient. Molding to the specific contours of the patient’s body without applying pressure, the vacuum mattress reduces pressure point tenderness. Both the adult and pediatric Evac-U-Splint mattresses have large padded handles secured to the perimeter of the mattress which provide improved security when moving and transferring a patient and also allow for rescuers to share handles when handing off a patient in tight quarters. The Evac-U-Splint Pediatric Mattress holds a child securely and comfortably, which reduces their anxiety during transport, resulting in less patient movement. Both mattresses are filled with thousands of polystyrene beads which act as a thermal insulator to help maintain the patient’s core body temperature.
For injured extremities, broken bones and fractured limbs, you need the most durable, reliable and stabilizing equipment for your patients. The Evac-U-Splint Mattress provides fast and effective immobilization for your patients. It molds to the specific contours of the patient’s body without applying any pressure, reducing the discomfort and anxiety of the patient. This innovative splint is also MRI and X-Ray compatible, meaning a patient does not need to be removed if it is unsafe to do so.
