Don vacuum splints get holes in them just like air splints?
A. Air splints are made of clear vinyl material and in many cases are folded for storage. Because the vinyl material has no scrim or any other supporting fabric, it is much more prone to puncture. Every time an air splint is folded it develops a corner that is susceptible to cracking. The EVAC-U-SPLINT is composed of a vinyl/nylon blend, and the FASPLINT is made from an abrasion-resistant vinyl, both of which are many times more durable and flexible than materials found on air splints. This extends the life of both products even under the wear and tear of regular use, cleaning & maintenance, and storage.
