Broken bones are a common injury, and both CLS, CMC, and CPP kits usually have equipment to splint those fractures. Malleable splints can be shaped to fit the needs of various fractures; however, they must be adequately bent to function properly. Cravats can be used to secure a splint or to create a sling or a swath. Femur fractures, or long bone fractures, can sometimes compromise the lower leg unless traction is applied during the splinting process, and some kits will come with traction splints to support that requirement.
