Ferno AS140 Leg Vacuum Splint

The Ferno AS140 Leg Vacuum Splint is specialized emergency medical equipment used for stabilizing lower limb trauma. It provides comprehensive immobilization for:

• Suspected fractures in the legs and joints.
• Dislocated joints in the leg area.

Its key benefit is its design, which uses a vacuum system and polystyrene beads to create an adaptive, total-support fit around the limb, ensuring secure immobilization without compromising necessary blood circulation.

The outer shell of the Ferno AS140 Leg Vacuum Splint is constructed from easy-to-clean, vinyl-coated nylon. This material ensures durability and facilitates quick cleaning between uses, which is essential in medical environments. Internally, the splint contains polystyrene beads that mold precisely to the limb when the vacuum is applied, creating a secure, adaptive, cast-like fit.

The Ferno AS140 provides highly secure and total immobilization through its adaptive vacuum technology:

1. Adaptive Fit: The splint contains thousands of internal polystyrene beads. When air is evacuated (vacuum pump sold separately), these beads mold precisely to the contours of the injured limb, creating a firm, custom, cast-like fit.
2. Stable Support: This method stabilizes suspected fractures or dislocated joints effectively while being specifically designed to ensure circulation is maintained.
3. Secure Fastening: The splint is held firmly in place using durable, adjustable hook-and-loop straps.

The Ferno AS140 Leg Vacuum Splint is designed for easy maintenance, constructed from vinyl-coated nylon which allows for convenient cleaning.

The Ferno AS140 Leg Vacuum Splint has the following specifications:

• Length: 112 cm
• Width: 70 cm
• Thickness/Height: 3 cm

It is designed to be lightweight, weighing only 1.1 kg (2.4 lbs), making it highly portable for emergency medical use.

The Ferno AS140 utilizes two complementary mechanisms to achieve comprehensive support and a secure fit for injured limbs:

• Adaptive Vacuum Molding: The splint contains internal polystyrene beads. When air is vacuumed out, these beads mold precisely to the contours of the limb, creating a custom, cast-like fit that provides total immobilization while ensuring blood circulation is maintained.
• Secure Strap System: Multiple hook-and-loop adjustable straps are used to reliably fasten the durable, vinyl-coated nylon splint around the patient, ensuring stability during transport.

Yes, the Ferno AS140 Leg Vacuum Splint is designed to be lightweight, facilitating easy transport and use by emergency medical services (EMS). The splint weighs 1.1 kg (2.5 lbs).

The splint is made from durable vinyl-coated nylon and contains tiny polystyrene beads. These materials work together to mold around the limb like a cast when air is vacuumed out, providing effective immobilization.

Yes, a key benefit of the Ferno AS140 Leg Vacuum Splint is its ability to maintain proper circulation while immobilizing the limb. The adjustable hook-and-loop straps help ensure a snug yet safe fit.

The Ferno AS140 Leg Vacuum Splint is emergency medical equipment designed for the stabilization and total immobilization of lower limb trauma. It is specifically intended for use with:

• Suspected fractures in the leg or joint area.
• Dislocated joints in the leg or joint area.

This device uses vacuum technology to create a custom, cast-like fit that holds the limb securely while crucially ensuring that blood circulation is maintained.
