Product Overview

The TC Splint fills an important gap in the emergency splinting market: a rigid, multi-fracture splinting system that folds small enough to carry in a tactical medic bag while deploying to a full-length rigid platform capable of supporting lower extremity fractures. Unlike flexible aluminum splints (SAM Splint II) that provide good immobilization through molding but limited rigidity for major long-bone fractures, the TC Splint uses 6 telescoping stainless steel poles within a nylon shell to create a genuinely rigid splinting platform when deployed — providing firm immobilization without improvisation.

Deployment is rapid: the splint unfolds from its 8 × 5 × 3 inch packaged configuration to a 34 × 9.5 inch platform, the telescoping poles extend to the required length, and 4 wide elastic bands with hook-and-loop closures secure the injured limb at multiple points. The internal non-absorbent foam padding provides patient comfort during transport and prevents pressure points at pole contact sites. The exterior 400 denier nylon shell is non-absorbent, water resistant, and easy to clean.

Step-by-step instructions are printed on the device itself and included as a separate insert, supporting consistent application by providers at varying training levels. The TC Splint is designed for field and prehospital use including tactical operations, wilderness rescue, emergency management, and adventure rescue — anywhere rigid splinting capability is required without the bulk of a traditional rigid padded splint set.

All products sourced from the actual brand manufacturer or authorized master distributors. CoTCCC recommendation status verified where applicable. Ships from MED-TAC International, Pembroke Pines, FL — clinician-founded, veteran-led, SDVOSB-certified.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does the TC Splint achieve rigid immobilization while being collapsible?

The TC Splint uses 6 high-grade 304 stainless steel telescoping poles contained within a 400 denier nylon shell. When the poles are extended and locked in position, they create a rigid structural framework 34 inches long that provides firm immobilization for major and minor fractures — without requiring a bulky rigid padded board. The poles collapse and nest together for storage at 8 × 5 × 3 inches.

What is the deployed size of the NAR TC Splint?

When fully deployed, the TC Splint measures 34 × 9.5 inches — appropriate for immobilizing lower extremity fractures (tibia, fibula, ankle) and upper extremity injuries. The telescoping poles can be adjusted within this range to accommodate different limb lengths and injury locations.

How does the TC Splint secure to the injured limb?

The TC Splint uses 4 wide elastic bands with hook-and-loop (Velcro-style) closures that attach at multiple points along the splint's length. This multi-point securing system distributes pressure evenly along the injury site and prevents limb movement relative to the splint during transport.

Is the TC Splint suitable for tactical and austere environment use?

Yes. The TC Splint is designed and marketed by North American Rescue specifically for tactical, field, and pre-hospital use by medics, first responders, emergency management professionals, and search and rescue teams. The 400 denier nylon shell is water resistant, the non-absorbent foam padding does not retain blood or fluid, and the stainless steel poles are corrosion resistant.

How does the TC Splint compare to the SAM Splint II for major fracture immobilization?

For major long-bone fractures (distal tibia, fibula, ankle), the TC Splint provides firmer, more reliable immobilization due to its rigid stainless steel pole construction. The SAM Splint II uses an aluminum-foam moldable design that provides good immobilization for upper extremity injuries but is less suited to long-distance patient transport of major lower extremity fractures. The TC Splint is the preferred NAR option for rigid lower extremity splinting in a packable format.
