IFAK sized portable splint:

RISE™ (Rigid Immobilization System for Extremities)

That splint thing looks like the genesis of the product was some drunk army medics splinting their buddy's broken bone during a drinking incident with those little reflective microwave heating trays that frozen pizza and hotpockets come in.

Three 68Ws during their investor pitch on Shark Tank, half conscious from pre-gaming:

"So, no shit, there we were..."

It's certainly looks that way as an arm splint...My first reaction was, "How is this any better than a SAM Splint?" - https://www.sammedical.com/products/...32444250292333

But then I looked at TacMed's website and realized they've probably really designed this around the pelvic binding feature and built in the extremity splinting to make it a more multi-use/multi-functional tool so you don't have to carry both a SAM splint and this. Because a SAM isn't going to work as a pelvic binder.

You can absolutely use a SAM in conjunction with a TQ to make a very effective pelvic binding device...I keep a pre cut one in my Med bag for this reason. SAM splints can do...many things.

Do you cut slots in them like shown above?

[Totem Polar]

SAM makes a dedicated pelvic support, but it’s more expensive than either company’s compact muti-use splint, by a good amount.

Do you cut slots in them like shown above?

Yup. Cut slots and roll a bit for extra strength. The technique was shown to me and a bunch of our other EMT / Paramedics by a SAM company trainer at an event a few years ago.

I believe there was a Type 3 malfunction simulator round discussed here in the past. Yup I found it and it was the same device. I remember commenting previously.
