Moving around with a splint in DayZ is no picnic. Survivors can’t jump or sprint as the splint limits some mobility. It’s still possible to jog, though, without getting shock damage.
You can also climb with a splint on but it’s a slower process.
That said, knowing how to make and use a splint is crucial for survival in DayZ. Moving with untended broken limbs will cause survivors to go unconscious, leaving them vulnerable to attacks and other hazards.
To ensure you know the basics of healing yourself in DayZ, let’s go through the splint crafting process across all platforms.
How to Make a Splint in DayZ?
Making a splint in DayZ is one of the first things any survivor should learn to do. It’s a simple crafting recipe that requires sticks, and bandages, or rags.
You can get small sticks by chopping down small bushes or by splitting the wood from a chopped tree.
Bandages are one of the most common medical/healing items in the game. When in a short supply of bandages, you can also craft rags and use them in the splint recipe.
Keep in mind that you need four rags and two sticks to make a single splint. You also need your bandages at 100% along with two sticks to make a splint.

How to Make a Splint in DayZ 1.10?
The 1.10 update marked the introduction of the splint medical item in DayZ. Since then, its crafting process has remained the same.
You need either bandages or rags and two sticks to make a splint.
- Harvest or take the necessary items from your inventory.
- Place the items in your hands.
- Press and hold the Combine button on your controller/PC.
- Hold for at least five seconds or until the animation ends.
- Heal your broken limb or store the splint in your inventory.
It’s recommended to carry at least one crafted splint in your bag at all times to quickly tend to a broken limb.
How to Use a Splint in DayZ?
You can only use a splint if you have a broken limb. If not, you can still craft it and store it in your bag. Here’s how to use it:
- Take the splint from your bag and place it in your hands.
- Hold down the assigned Use button for 10 seconds.
- Check the continuous action timer.
Note that you can abort the action. Letting go of the ‘’use’’ button during the crafting process will cancel the healing process.
Once applied to the broken limb, the splint will heal it depending on the severity of the damage. It shouldn’t take longer than 20 minutes at the most, regardless of the damage.
Additional FAQs
What Is a Wooden Splint?
A wooden splint is a medical item that you can craft in DayZ. It’s a necessary healing item used to tend to fall damage or gunshot wounds to the extremities.
Without using a splint on a broken limb, moving around would cause continuous shock damage to the survivor. It’s even possible to end up unconscious from moving too much on a broken limb.
How Do You Heal Yourself in DayZ?
There are multiple ways to heal your survivor in DayZ, depending on the issue. For broken limbs, you can use splints to slowly heal yourself.
If you get a disease you have to locate and take the appropriate medication – usually in the form of pills or tablets.
You can also perform blood or saline transfusions to heal certain conditions. You can apply bandages or rags to stop bleeding.
Regardless of the problem, there’s no way to instantly heal your survivor in DayZ. Every form of treatment takes some time to work; some considerably longer than others.
