The Prometheus Medical Pelvic Splint™ has been designed for pre-hospital use, and is light and easily adjusted by one person. The soft material, with no internal stitching, minimises pressure points and reduces the risk of pressure necrosis.
Using the preferred method of application, the neoprene can be trimmed once the splint has been sized to the patient, which means that anteriorly the splint is comprised mainly of the blue fastening material, which is only 50mm wide. This allows more access to the inguinal region and urethra for urinary catheterisation and/or femoral vein/artery access.
Key product features:
- Lightweight - Made of 6mm Neoprene
- One size fits all - from child to bariatric patient
- Splint may be cut to size to allow access to abdomen and groin
