The Air Splint Set is a crucial medical tool intended for the swift and temporary immobilization of fractured limbs, primarily utilized during emergency medical situations. The design involves plastic structures which can be easily wrapped around limbs such as arms and legs, providing basic stabilization during patient transport. Utilized in first aid kits, it offers a lightweight, versatile solution as it inflates using an air shot, and is promptly deflatable for ease of removal. The air splints are not suitable for long-term immobilization due to their lesser structural support compared to more robust materials like plaster or fiberglass. Care must be taken to avoid overinflation, which could impede blood circulation. Despite potential discomfort from the plastic, the application of talcum powder can mitigate skin adhesion issues. In air transport situations, partial deflation is necessary to adapt to changes in atmospheric pressure, ensuring no additional pressure is applied to injuries at altitude.
