PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Rigid Immobilization System for Extremities (RISE) is a specially designed, durable polyethylene polymer. Made with pre-formed “living hinges” it provides the capability to form-fit to the proper shape and dimensions for emergency splinting of both upper and lower extremities, as well as pelvic binding with a standard issue tourniquet.

Using lessons learned from the battlefield, the RISE is collapsible for the smallest form factor and can fit into all standard issued IFAKs with minimal space claim.

Splinting is taught as a buddy-aid task during IET. For nominal cost per Warfighter, the RISE can increase medical capability on the battlefield where it is needed most; at the point of injury.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

• Designed to splint fractures of both upper and lower extremities, as well as emergency pelvic binding capability
• Durable polymer designed to withstand environmental elements including saltwater corrosion
• Easy application for both upper and lower extremities in less than 2 minutes, and pelvic binding capability under 3 minutes
• Truly rigid polymer material for support of fractures without bending or having to “double up” with multiple folds
• Can be used in conjunction with additional RISE devices, creating a temporary “cast” for patients with long hold times
• Designed for the Warfighter, Law Enforcement, and EMS
• Reduced form factor and space claim
• Light weight and easy to deploy
• Removable padded sleeve available if required
• DoD tested for efficacy with a 100% acceptance rate when asked if the evaluator would “Take to war now”!
