IV Armboard
A lightweight arm immobilization device designed to stabilize the limb and protect intravenous access during medical treatment and patient transport.
Key Features:
✔️ Securely immobilizes the arm to protect IV lines and catheters
✔️ Open-board design allows continuous access to the IV site
✔️ Adjustable straps provide a stable fit across different arm sizes
✔️ Constructed from lightweight aluminum and foam for comfort and durability
✔️ Padded surface reduces pressure and enhances patient comfort
✔️ Suitable for peripheral IV lines and catheter-based access
✔️ Available in multiple sizes to support adult and pediatric use
✔️ Radiolucent options enable imaging without removing the armboard
IV Armboard
The IV Armboard consists of a flat malleable aluminum core encased in foam padding, available in five size variants ranging from 67 x 26 millimeters for pediatric applications to 260 x 90 millimeters for adult forearm immobilization. The aluminum substrate measures 1.5 millimeters thick, providing sufficient rigidity to prevent joint flexion while remaining bendable to conform to arm contours during initial placement. Closed-cell foam padding covers both surfaces in 5-millimeter thickness, creating cushioned contact that distributes pressure across the immobilization area and prevents skin breakdown during extended wear periods.
The open design lacks enclosing straps along the edges, allowing healthcare providers unobstructed visual access to catheter insertion sites for infiltration monitoring and dressing changes without splint removal. Securing occurs through external medical tape wrapped circumferentially around the armboard and limb at proximal, middle, and distal positions. Available colorways include blue, white, or customized options meeting facility branding requirements.Operating temperature range spans 32°F to 104°F without material degradation. The lightweight design adds minimal burden to patients during ambulation or transport. Each unit weighs between 15 and 85 grams depending on size selection.
Military field hospitals use the IV Armboard to stabilize intravenous access during patient evacuation aboard ground ambulances traversing rough terrain. Air force aeromedical evacuation teams secure IV sites during fixed-wing transport. Army forward surgical teams apply them during prolonged resuscitation efforts in tactical environments.
Tactical Supply Pakistan supplies vascular access stabilization equipment that maintains line integrity during patient movement across challenging evacuation conditions common in combat casualty care.
Can this armboard accommodate arterial line catheters?
Yes. The splint provides adequate immobilization for both venous and arterial access sites, though arterial lines require additional securing methods due to higher dislodgement consequences from arterial pressure.
