The NEED for Intravenous Splint

An Intravenous (IV) Splint is a medical device specifically designed to immobilize and support a patient’s limb—typically the wrist, hand, or foot—during IV therapy. Its primary function is to stabilize the IV catheter insertion site, ensuring consistent fluid or medication flow while reducing the risk of dislodgement, infiltration, or patient injury.

Historically, healthcare providers resorted to makeshift solutions using hard boards and medical tape. The Bodycast IV Splint replaces these improvised methods with a clinically engineered, ready-to-use solution made from medical-grade polypropylene plastic. It features soft cushioning, ventilation holes, and adjustable straps to deliver secure yet comfortable support, even during extended use.
Anatomically shaped to follow the natural contour of the arm and the foot, the Bodycast IV Splint enhances patient comfort and safety in both short- and long-term IV administration. To ensure the highest standards of hygiene and safety, each unit is UV- and ozone-sanitized before and after assembly.

Bodycast Splints are available in four variants

  • Foot Splint (Small / Medium / Large / Neonate)
  • Neonate (Small / Medium / Large)
  • Pediatric (Small / Medium / Large)
