Product Overview

The FARETEC Redi Splint has earned its place in both civilian EMS bags and military medic kits through a straightforward formula: high-grade aluminum rigidity with easy field moldability, wrapped in durable Volara closed-cell foam. The "dead-soft" aluminum alloy core provides greater structural rigidity than competing splints that rely on wire or thin-gauge aluminum, yet remains pliable enough to mold to virtually any fractured limb, digit, or arm-board configuration with nothing more than hand pressure.

Volara foam uses closed-cell cross-linked technology — it does not absorb fluids, maintains its cushioning properties after repeated use, and resists compression set over time. This makes the Redi Splint more durable and hygienic than open-cell foam alternatives that absorb blood and body fluids. The closed-cell construction also provides a degree of thermal insulation — relevant for extremity injuries in cold environments where additional insulation around a fracture site reduces patient discomfort and secondary complications.

The Redi Splint's secondary utility as an IV arm board adds versatility in austere environments where dedicated arm boards may not be available. Its flat format in multiple lengths and widths makes it integrable into IFAK packs, medic bags, and first responder kits without requiring dedicated carrying pouches. Made in the USA to high-grade specifications, it is a proven utility splint for field use across both military and civilian markets.

Field Application Notes

Mold to limb position before or after application using hand pressure alone
Can be folded into a trough shape for long-bone fractures, or used flat for arm boards
Multiple fold configurations accommodate wrist, forearm, finger, ankle, and foot injuries
Can be cut to size with trauma shears — exposed aluminum edges should be folded or padded
Available in yellow or black; multiple lengths and widths for optimal fit

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What makes the FARETEC Redi Splint more rigid than other splints?

The Redi Splint uses a high-grade 'dead-soft' aluminum alloy core that is inherently more rigid than competing splints that use thinner-gauge aluminum or wire cores. 'Dead-soft' refers to the metal's temper — it has minimal springback when bent, holding its molded position without rebounding. This means the splint retains the shape you form it into, providing consistent and reliable immobilization once applied to the injured limb.

What is Volara foam and why does it matter for a splint?

Volara is a closed-cell cross-linked foam — unlike open-cell foam, it does not absorb fluids (blood, wound drainage, sweat), maintaining hygiene and avoiding degradation from fluid exposure. Closed-cell foam maintains its cushioning properties over repeated use and resists compression set. For a splint used in trauma environments, these properties mean longer service life, easier decontamination, and consistent patient comfort across extended transport periods.

Can the FARETEC Redi Splint be used as an IV arm board?

Yes. The Redi Splint is specifically noted as working well for standard IV infusion arm board applications. Its flat format and rigid aluminum core support the forearm in a neutral position during IV insertion and infusion — preventing the patient's wrist flexion from kinking the catheter. This dual-use capability adds versatility in austere environments where dedicated arm boards may not be carried.

Can the splint be cut to size in the field?

Yes, the Redi Splint can be cut with trauma scissors or shears. However, responders should be aware that cutting exposes the aluminum edge, which can be sharp. Any cut edges should be folded over or covered with additional foam or tape before placing against the patient's skin. FARETEC manufactures the splint in multiple standard lengths and widths specifically to reduce the need for field cutting — selecting the appropriate size initially is the preferred approach.

Is the FARETEC Redi Splint made in the USA?

Yes. The FARETEC Redi Splint is manufactured in the United States to high-grade specifications. It has been proven in the field for years across both civilian EMS and military medical markets. Made-in-USA construction supports domestic manufacturing and quality control standards consistent with professional-grade medical devices.
