This collection covers splinting, immobilisation and casualty-handling equipment used to stabilise an injured person before further care or transport. It includes the AEROSPLINT range of foam splints, LOGIKAL air splints, LAERDAL cervical collars and specialist items like a low-voltage rescue hook and amputated parts bags, making it relevant to workplace first aid rooms, sports trainers and higher-risk industrial sites.
What's included:
- Foam splints: AEROSPLINT finger, wrist and junior aluminium foam splints, plus folded and rolled aluminium foam splints in standard and extra-large sizes
- Air splints: LOGIKAL full-arm, half-arm, full-leg and half-leg air splints, available individually or as a pack
- Cervical collars: LAERDAL Adjustable Stifneck Collars in adult and paediatric sizing
- Electrical incident response: an AERORESCUE low voltage rescue hook rated to 15kV for safely separating a casualty from a live source
- Trauma accessories: AEROSUPPLIES amputated parts bags for preserving tissue during transport to hospital
Use cases:
- Workplace first aid rooms and trauma kits: equipping higher-risk sites (construction, manufacturing, electrical work) with splinting and immobilisation gear beyond a basic kit
- Sports trainers and clubs: managing suspected fractures, sprains and neck injuries pitch-side
- Electrical and utility workers: keeping a low-voltage rescue hook on hand for safe casualty separation from live equipment
FAQs
What's the difference between foam splints and air splints?
Foam splints like the AEROSPLINT range are moulded by hand around the injured limb and held in place with a bandage, while air splints such as the LOGIKAL range are inflatable sleeves that apply even, adjustable pressure once fitted and inflated.
How do I choose the right cervical collar size?
The LAERDAL Adjustable Stifneck Collar is offered in adult and paediatric sizing and is adjustable within that range; correct fitting should follow your first aid training and the collar's sizing guide to ensure proper immobilisation.
Who should use this equipment?
Splinting and immobilisation equipment should be used by people trained in first aid or trauma care, as incorrect application can worsen an injury; it's commonly stocked by trained first aid officers, paramedics and sports trainers.
Why would a workplace need a low-voltage rescue hook?
Sites working with or near electrical equipment can use a rated rescue hook to safely move a casualty away from a live source without the rescuer becoming part of the circuit, which is a recognised part of electrical incident emergency planning.
