Ready First Aid Foam Splint, 4.25 x 36 in, Aluminum Core

For a hiking or camping first-aid kit, the Ready First Aid Foam Splint provides a flexible way to support an injured limb. Its foam exterior cushions the area, while the aluminum core can be shaped into a simple curve to help hold the limb in place.

At 4.25 x 36 in, it offers a long, cut-to-fit format for different support needs. Roll it for storage in a backpack, vehicle or first-aid kit, then secure it with tape or a wrap when needed.

Some splints are chosen for a fixed shape, this one is designed to be bent and trimmed to suit the task. That makes it a practical choice when packable support and adaptable sizing matter.

Best use cases

This splint is suited to supporting injured or fractured limbs during outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, backpacking, hunting and sports. Its rollable design makes it straightforward to stow with other first-aid supplies, ready for situations where a shaped support may be useful.

The 36-inch length can be cut with scissors to fit the area being supported. Once shaped, the splint can be secured with tape or a wrap. This gives you a way to tailor the support to the immediate need rather than relying on a fixed-length piece.

Benefits

A lightweight aluminum core sits between the outer foam layers, combining a bendable structure with cushioning against the limb. The closed-cell foam exterior helps provide a comfortable surface and a close hold when the splint is secured. Weighing 0.32 lb (150 g), it is easy to carry alongside other kit essentials.

The material is waterproof and the splint is reusable after proper disinfection. Its radiolucent design is MRI compatible and allows X-rays to be performed without removing the splint, helping keep it in place for imaging.
