A thermoplastic splint is an advanced device used to immobilize, protect, and support injuries such as fractures, sprains, and strains. Compared to traditional plaster casts, these splints are significantly lighter, easily molded to the patient's body, and removable for hygiene maintenance.
How to Use?
1. Place the splint in 65-70°C water for 1-3 minutes until pliable.
2. Remove and blot dry with a clean towel.
3. Mold the splint around the specific body part (arm, leg, or nose).
4. As it cools, it will harden into a rigid, protective structure.
