What It Is
The RISE is one of the most versatile rigid splinting systems available for individual operator kits. It was designed from direct battlefield feedback to address a specific gap: most individual first aid kits have no rigid splinting capability at all, defaulting to improvised solutions when solid immobilization is needed. The RISE delivers a rigid polymer splint that folds compactly enough to fit in any standard military IFAK — including the U.S. Army IFAK II — while providing three distinct configurations.
The straight configuration provides standard upper- or lower-extremity immobilization for fractures and severe sprains. The 90-degree configuration — locked with integrated securing snaps — suits forearm and wrist injuries that require the anatomical position of function. The pelvic stabilizer configuration is unique to the RISE: cutout slots in the splint body accept a windlass or ratcheting tourniquet as a tension element for improvised pelvic circumferential compression when a dedicated pelvic sling is unavailable.
Dynamic living hinges let the RISE fold at pre-formed points and return to a stable immobilizing configuration when unfolded — unlike softer flexible splints that require external force to hold shape. All three configurations are screen-printed directly on the splint surface, eliminating the need to reference a separate instruction sheet under stress. The polymer construction is unaffected by saltwater, chemical decontamination agents, and standard field cleaning, supporting maintenance in deployed environments.
