A super lightweight (4 oz.) foam-padded aluminum splint that can be unfolded and bent into almost any shape to conform to almost any part of the body (around the neck, at the elbow, etc.). Reusable and transparent to X-rays, which means it can be kept on during scanning. Every expedition doc and EMT crew packs one of these as a standard item, It's a great thing to have in your car's first aid kit, or at home, camp, or vacation where you have active people.
