Key details about the padding:

- Benefit: The 3-piece foam construction is a primary selling point, offering comfortable and effective stabilization suitable for emergency use by first responders.
What materials make up the folding splint?
The DMS Economy Folding Splint is constructed using materials optimized for single-use emergency immobilization and patient comfort:
- Structure (Cardboard): The core is made from sturdy, foldable cardboard to provide firm support and necessary rigidity for stabilizing injured limbs.
