MOULDABLE SPLINT

Definition

A compact, lightweight, highly versatile splint designed for immobilizing bone and soft tissue injuries in emergency settings.

The device is often found in First Aid Kits, ambulances, and other similar settings. Generally supplied in a roll or as a flat strip, it can be unrolled or unfolded and formed to the shape of the injured person's body. Once folded into a curve, it becomes quite rigid and capable of immobilizing a limb.

Packaging & Labelling

Unit presentation: 1 splint, protected in a cellophane paper with user instructions written on the splint.

Instructions for use

Shaping the splint :

  • The C-curve : curve the splint lengthwise to create a longitudinal bend to strengthen the splint.
  • The reverse C-curve: curve the outside edges of the splint in the opposite direction which will give more strength
  • The T-curve: double the splint or create a T-curve for extra strength.

The Splint can be held in place with anything from torn t-shirts to tape.

Precautions for Use

  • Where prolonged use is anticipated (more than a few hours), place an absorbent material, such as a cotton cloth, between the splint and the skin to prevent skin irritation, pressure points and odour. Place soft padding (such as gauze pads) around any bony prominences.
  • When cutting the splint avoid using serrated scissors as they may produce sharp edges. After cutting the splint, roll the cut end over or apply tape to cover any exposed metal.

Maintenance

Can be cleaned and disinfected with a detergent/disinfectant solution for surfaces / non-invasive medical equipment. Prepare use-solution in concentration required. Always read the label and product information before use. Do not mix with other products. Make sure to wet the surfaces completely, use a wipe or towel, keep them wet for the whole exposure time.

MSF requirements

The mouldable splints replace the inflatable splints.
