Frequently asked questions
How does this splint immobilize an injured arm?
The Ferno AS100 Short Arm Vacuum Splint provides rapid and customizable immobilization through a unique vacuum mechanism:
- Custom Molding: The splint contains internal micro-beads. When air is evacuated using a separate pump (not included), these beads mold precisely to the patient’s arm, creating rigid, tailored support.
- Maintains Circulation: Critically, this design stabilizes the injury while ensuring that good blood circulation is maintained in the affected limb.
Built with durable, easy-to-clean vinyl-coated nylon, the AS100 is ideal for emergency medical services where quick sanitation is essential.

How does the AS100 splint provide custom immobilization?
The Ferno AS100 uses a vacuum-molding system to ensure rapid and highly customized immobilization:
- Molding Process: The splint contains internal micro-beads. When air is extracted from the unit using a separate vacuum pump (which is NOT included), these beads compress, conforming precisely to the unique contours of the patient’s arm.
- Effective Support: This customized molding action provides rigid, effective stabilization for the injured limb.
- Circulation Maintained: A key benefit is that the design specifically restricts movement while critically ensuring that good blood circulation is maintained.

No, the pump required to extract the air from the splint is NOT included and must be purchased separately.
How should I clean and sanitize the AS100 splint?
