VACUUM SPLINTS
Vacuum Mattresses & Splints currently provide the most comfortable and versatile splinting system available today. Full of tiny beads, the splints can be moulded to conform to any shape the limb may be found in, and can be applied with very little movement. When ready to immobilise, the air is simply pumped out and the splint becomes extremely rigid for up to 24 hrs.
Other features include access to the limb is still possible, there is no inward pressure on the injured limb, if swelling occurs the splint can be remoulded, splints are x-ray transparent, and finally splints can remain in place for up to 24 hours with no loss of immobilisation.
The new NEANN VIM (Vacuum Immobilsation Mattress) is the most advanced Vacuum Mattress on the market today and has been designed to meet the latest in spinal immobilisation requirements. It's unique shape is the only vacuum mattress on the market that allows access to the patients arms.
