Why a set of 14 kramer splints in different sizes?
The set of 14 Kramer splints covers splints from the shortest, 25 × 5 cm, to the longest, 150 × 12 cm. The varied lengths and widths make it possible to protect injuries of the upper and lower limbs in different rescue situations, and several sizes (25 × 5, 60 × 7, 70 × 7, 90 × 12 and 150 × 12 cm) come in two pieces.
Disposable covers improve hygiene in use and make it easier to prepare the equipment for subsequent interventions, and the R112 bag with handles makes it easier to carry and store the whole set. You will find other stabilisation solutions in the category Splints. By choosing the set of 14 kramer splints, you get short 25 × 5 cm splints as well as medium 80 × 10 cm and 90 × 12 cm ones at the same time.
Rules for using splints for a limb fracture
First assess the safety of the scene and call for help on 999 or 112. If the fracture is accompanied by massive bleeding, stopping it takes priority: direct pressure, and when bleeding from a limb is life-threatening – a tourniquet. Only then do you move on to immobilisation. The set of 14 kramer splints is KSRG compliant and supplied in an R112 carry bag with handles.
Choose the splint size according to the site of the injury to the upper or lower limb, and immobilisation should be carried out by a trained person. You can read about how to deal with bleeding in the article Chapter II – Massive bleeding – first aid.
