[Structure] A wrist splint 1 capable of covering half of an arm and a wrist and the back of a hand is formed by using a plastic foam, and a plurality of cut grooves 2 for band passing are formed in the wrist splint 1. And the cut groove 2 for passing the band.
It is a structure of a medical splint in which the binding band 3 is inserted through and attached.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a medical splint, and more particularly to a medical splint integrally molded of plastic foam.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a splint and an elastic bandage are generally used to fix the affected area for a certain period of time as a medical treatment when a part of the body such as hands, arms, legs, and neck is broken, sprained, or whiplash suffered. The method was done. In addition, metal pieces, casts, elastic bandages, bandages, etc. were used as splints for this fixation.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 It has been customary for these conventional splints to cover the entire affected area and, once the affected area is fixed, leave it for a certain period and do not remove it. Therefore, since the affected area is heavy due to the weight of the splint and there is no air circulation, the affected area has a problem such as rash or swelling because it is tightly wound. In the case of a cast, there is a problem that it cannot be easily attached to and removed from the affected area.

The medical splint according to the present invention is a completely new technology developed in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems. In particular, the splint is made of a foamed plastic body to make it lighter and more elastic. And a completely new structure that covers about half of the affected area and fixes the affected area, and the binding band inserted through the notch groove provided in a part of the affected area easily ties and fixes the area around the affected area. It is intended to provide a splint.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The medical splint according to the present invention is a technique that has fundamentally improved the above-mentioned conventional problems, and the gist of the present invention is to describe the parts of the human body such as the hands, arms, legs, and neck. It is made of a plastic foam splint that can wrap around half of the splint, and cut-out grooves for band passage are made at predetermined positions of the splint, and binding bands are inserted through these cut-out grooves. It is a medical splint characterized by being attached.

[0006]

[Action]

 Since the medical splint according to the present invention is constructed by molding a plastic foam, it has a light weight as a whole and is strong and elastic so that it can be firmly attached to the affected area and can be effectively attached to the affected area. Can be fixed in place. Moreover, since it is rich in cushioning properties, it can reduce the impact even if it hits another article.

Also, since the splint of the present invention covers about half of the affected area, it is possible to let air pass through the affected area, which prevents the affected area from sweating or rashes. I can. Furthermore, the affected part does not need to be pressed and fixed too tightly, and the splint of the present invention can be easily attached to and removed from the affected part.

【Example】

 An embodiment of a medical splint according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a splint for a wrist according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a perspective explanatory view of a splint for ankle.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a wrist splint, which is formed by heat-molding a plastic foam. The wrist splint 1 has a shape capable of covering about half of the wrist of the arm and the back of the hand. Further, at a predetermined position of the wrist splint 1, a plurality of cut grooves 2 for band passing are formed in two rows in a direction orthogonal to the long axis direction. In addition, binding bands 3 are inserted into and attached to the notches 2 for band passage in two rows.

In use of the wrist splint according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, in particular, the wrist splint 1 is attached to each of the arm, the wrist, and the back of the hand, and the bundling van attached to the wrist splint 1 is attached. By using the cord 3, the wrist splint 1 can be fixed to the arm, the wrist, and the back of the hand in close contact with each other, thereby fixing the affected wrist.

In this way, when the wrist splint 1 wraps the arm, wrist, and back of the hand, the wrist is completely fixed and is not too tight as compared with the case where the elastic bandage is used. In the case of the present embodiment, since the arms, wrists, etc. are not entirely covered, no sweat occurs and no rashes occur. Furthermore, the wrist splint 1 of the present invention can be easily attached to and detached from the affected area.

Although the wrist splint 1 has been described in the above embodiments, when the affected part is, for example, the ankle, the ankle splint 4 as shown in FIG. Can be used. Similar to the wrist splint 1, the ankle splint 4 is also configured to wrap only about half the affected area. The ankle splint 4 is also formed with a plurality of cut-out grooves 2 for passing bands, and a binding band 3 is inserted and attached to the cut-out grooves 2 for passing band. .

[0013]

[Effect of device]

 Since the medical splint according to the present invention has the above-described structure and action, it has the following great effects.

(1) Since the splint is formed of a foamed plastic body, it is light and easy to handle, and even when it is attached, gravity is not applied to the affected area. (2) Since the whole has cushioning properties, the impact can be reduced even when the affected area is bumped against other items. (3) It can be fitted exactly on the affected area and does not press the affected area too tightly.

(4) Since the splint tree does not absorb water even if it is wet, it can be used as it is. (5) Since the entire affected area is not covered, sweat and rash can be reduced. (6) It is easy to put on and take off the affected part. (7) It is convenient to carry and can be used as an emergency.
