The TacMed RISE (Rigid Immobilization System for Extremities) is engineered to be the most rugged, low-profile, rigid splint for extremity fractures and pelvic binding in the prehospital environment. Born from lessons on the battlefield, it can be intuitively applied under stress to match the injury present as a straight splint, 90-degree splint, or pelvic binder. It can be easily secured to the patient with items such as an elastic wrap or pressure bandage.

Its innovative design features dynamic living hinges that allow the splint to collapse into the smallest form factor for maximum portability and kit space savings. With its compact size, the RISE fits into most individual first aid kits including all standard military issued IFAKs. Additionally, the hinges allow you to easily form-fit to the required shape and dimensions for proper splinting of fractures for both upper and lower extremities.

Unique to the RISE, multiple cutout slots provide you the capability to create a pelvic binder when paired windlass or ratcheting tourniquet such as the SOF Tourniquet. The Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC) recognizes splinting and pelvic binding application as a critical step to prevent additional injury before moving a casualty.

The one-of-a-kind construction is made of a lightweight polymer capable of withstanding surface cleaning and harsh elements, including saltwater, while maintaining its rigidity and durability. Whether you are on the battlefield or a responder here at home, the RISE is an advantageous addition to any IFAK for increasing your medical capability at the point of injury when needed most.
