A full-body splint is an essential emergency device used to immobilize and protect a patient’s entire body, especially after serious injuries like fractures or spinal trauma. Made from strong, rigid materials like plastic or metal, the splint is designed to support the entire body from head to feet. The patient is carefully placed on the splint, and straps are used to secure them in place, preventing any movement that could worsen their injuries. This immobilization is crucial for maintaining proper alignment and protecting injured areas during transport. Full-body splints are commonly used in situations like car accidents or severe falls, where there is a high risk of serious injury to multiple parts of the body.
