Vacuum splint
All of the polystyrene spheres, that are suspended in the air displace as soon as the pressure inside the vinyl shell changes. The surface of the mattress (or splints) is distributed in proportion to the weight supported. The mattress hence allows for effective and correct fitting. The patient, lying inside, moulded by his/her own body, can be further immobilized by creating a protective shell around the patient, winding the lateral edges of the mattress around him/her. The mattress can then be deflated using a manual or electric vacuum pump to evacuate the air. In doing this, the spheres press against one another locking themselves in. After closing the valve the form taken remains fixed in the position it was moulded into for the time required.
Vacuum Immobilizer Features
Vacuum Valve
- Valve, as the most important part for vacuum products, we use the high-quality one, which has excellent keeping vacuum performance over 72hours at least.
Internal structure
- Special anti-static and non-woven fabric, which prevent the beads stick to the fabric
- Multi-chamber design keeps the beads in the right position, and easy to use. No need to waste much time to make it smooth before using.
- The density of the microspheres that have been optimized in order to guarantee good thermal isolation and to reduce the loss of heat from the patient
TPU Material
- TPU Material, better and more pop than PVC. TPU is more durable, abrasion and puncture resistant.
- There are three kinds of TPU totally, polyester, polyether and polyester or polyether laminated.
- Polyester is hydrolyzed; polyether is waterproof and cannot be hydrolyzed, the third one has a coating layer on the fabric, which includes the features polyether or polyether has and also the better stretchability.
