WARNING
Improper use of the splints can cause injury. Use the
splints only for the purpose described in this manual.
3.1 Description
The Model AS-190 Vacuum Splint Kit is a set of three vacuum-activated
splints, a vacuum pump, a repair kit, and a carrying case. Each vacuum
splint is an emergency patient-care device designed to immobilize and
support an injured part of the body.
The splints are for professional use only, by a minimum of two trained
operators.
The splints are made of vinyl-coated polyester and filled with polystyrene
beads. The splints fasten with hook-and-loop adjustment straps.
The kit contains splints in three sizes: small (Model AS-100), medium
(Model AS-120), and large (Model AS-140). Individual splints are also
available as replacement parts (See
Parts,
page 14).
The vacuum pump included with the kit includes an adapter to fit
different valve styles.
The carrying case is constructed with pockets for the splints, repair kit,
and vacuum pump.
