Hartwell Medical EVAC-U-SPLINT Adult Vacuum Mattress

Product Details

The EVAC-U-SPLINT® vacuum mattress provides fast, effective and comfortable immobilization for the entire patient. Molding to the specific contours of the patient’s body without applying pressure, the vacuum mattress provides uniform support and reduces pressure point tenderness from splinting. The EVAC-U-SPLINT mattress has six large padded handles secured to the perimeter of the mattress that provide improved security when moving and transferring a patient and also allows EMS responders to share handles when handing off a patient in tight quarters.

Features of the EVAC-U-SPLINT Adult Mattress

The EVAC-U-SPLINT is filled with thousands of polystyrene beads which act as a thermal insulator to help maintain the patient’s core body temperature, decreasing the potential for hypothermia. It is fully x-ray compatible patient restraint if the patient needs to remain in a secure state throughout testing.

Integrated slats provide maximum support and the simple rescue-type strap system ensures patient security even if the patient is transported on their side for airway maintenance. The mattress set includes a carrying case and high efficiency manual vacuum pump with foot stirrup and heavy-duty dual wall braided hose. The EVAC-U-SPLINT’s MaxiValve enables quick connection and disconnection of the hose and includes a protective leashed cap. Even while wearing gloves, the MaxiValve is easy to use and its audible click ensures a positive connection, even in low light conditions. An optional backpack carry case is also available.

The EVAC-U-SPLINT mattress can be cleaned using soap and water, a mild detergent, or a commercial cleaner/disinfectant. Avoid prolonged exposure of the vinyl material to high concentrations of bleach to avoid discoloration. This product can cause serious injury if misused, and should only be used by medical professionals.
