Splint
A splint is a device used for support or immobilization of limbs or of the spine. It can be used: ⁕By the emergency medical services or by volunteer first responders, to immobilize a fractured limb before the transportation; it is then a temporary immobilization; ⁕By allied health professionals such as occupational therapists, physiotherapists and orthotists, to immobilize an articulation that can be freed while not standing. ⁕By athletic trainers to immobilize an injured bone or joint to facilitate safer transportation of the injured person. ⁕By emergency room physicians to stabilize fractures or sprains until follow-up appointment with an Orthopedist. In most ERs, a fibreglass splinting material, called Orthoglass, is commonly used for several reasons. ⁕It is clean, unlike most plaster splinting materials ⁕It comes in rolls and can be easily measured and cut according to the patient's dimensions. ⁕It comes pre-padded, which saves time and energy trying to roll out padding. ⁕It dries in about 20 minutes, and there are no risks for burns involved. A nasal splint helps control bleeding and provide support in certain cases where the nose bone is broken.
