PRODUCT INFORMATION

FARETEC · Malleable Splint

FARETEC Redi Splint Immobilizer

A US-made malleable utility splint: a dead-soft aluminium alloy core sheathed in Volara closed-cell cross-linked foam, stiffer than wire- or thin-gauge-core alternatives yet moldable to a limb by hand alone. Cuts with trauma shears, doubles as an IV arm board. This listing sells the black colourway.

Dead-soft aluminium coreVolara closed-cell foamHand-moldable · shear-cuttableMade in USA

Closed-cell foam is the quiet spec here. Open-cell padding drinks blood and holds it, which is why a splint that looks fine after a call may not be one you want back in the bag.

What's Included

One splint, black. Read the length and width note before you order — it is the one number this listing does not give you.

1× FARETEC Redi Splint — dead-soft aluminium alloy core laminated inside Volara closed-cell cross-linked foam, black
FARETEC produces the Redi Splint in multiple lengths and widths and in both folded and flat formats; the legacy copy names the range but never names which one this SKU is. Confirm the size against MEDTAC0696 before ordering to a stocking standard or a bid line.
Ships as the bare splint. No cravats, no roller gauze, no tape, no sling and no packaging insert are included — bring your own securing material, because a malleable splint holds a shape but does not hold itself to a limb.
Yellow is a FARETEC colourway but is not sold. Black is the only option value here.

▾Specifications

FARETEC Redi Splint Immobilizer — specifications

Specification	Detail
Manufacturer	FARETEC — made in the USA
SKU	MEDTAC0696
Colour on this listing	Black (FARETEC also produces yellow; not sold here)
Core material	"Dead-soft" aluminium alloy — stated by the manufacturer to be more rigid than competing wire- or thin-gauge-core foam splints
Padding	Volara closed-cell cross-linked foam — does not absorb fluids, resists compression set, retains cushioning through repeated use
Moldability	Shaped by hand pressure alone; no heat, no tools
Field sizing	Can be cut down with trauma shears. A cut edge exposes aluminium — fold or pad it before it touches a patient.
Formats produced	Folded or flat, in multiple lengths and widths
Secondary use	Serviceable as an IV arm board
Reuse	Not stated. Reprocessing or single-patient-use policy is not published in the manufacturer data reproduced here.
Sterility	Non-sterile — this is an external immobilisation device, not a wound-contact dressing
Radiolucency	Not stated. An aluminium core is not radiolucent; do not assume it can stay on through imaging without confirming with the manufacturer and your radiology protocol.

Core material, padding material, moldability, format range, origin and SKU are as published in the manufacturer data reproduced on the previous version of this listing. The comparative rigidity statement is FARETEC's own claim and is printed as such. Four things a buyer usually wants are simply absent from that data — the length and width of this SKU, its weight, its latex content and its reuse policy — and rather than guess at them this page says so. Get them from FARETEC in writing before you standardise on this item. This page carries no splinting indications, no application technique, no traction guidance and no neurovascular assessment steps. Deciding that a limb needs immobilising, choosing the position to splint it in, and checking distal circulation, sensation and motor function before and after are trained clinical skills governed by your scope of practice and your protocols.

▾Who Carries It

Ground EMS and fire rescue stocking a malleable splint that covers wrist through ankle from one SKU · Tactical and military medics who need something that folds flat into a bag and molds without heat or a vacuum pump · Wilderness, SAR and expedition medicine, where a splint that can be cut to size in the field beats five pre-sized ones you did not carry · Athletic trainers and event medical covering extremity injuries on the sideline · Clinics and aid stations using it as an IV arm board as often as a splint.

Two practical notes. Mold it against the uninjured matching limb or your own forearm first, then transfer the shape — shaping it on the patient is how you turn a splint into a manipulation. And if you cut it, deal with the edge: Bare aluminium under a cravat will find skin over a long transport. Splinting decisions, positioning and neurovascular checks belong to your training and your medical direction; this page describes a device and its materials, not a procedure.

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.
