Description

One Split {ONE BODY TYPE SPLINT}

The present invention relates to a curable integral type splint used for orthopedic surgery. More particularly, the present invention relates to a curable integral splint used for an orthopedic surgery, and more particularly to a splint which can stably support a side portion during molding, stably press and fix a bending portion of the body, such as an elbow or an ankle, Which is capable of freely adjusting a position to be pressed and fixed irrespective of the position of the splint.

In general, orthopedic surgery is a non-surgical treatment method in which a part of the body such as arms and legs is fractured or sprains or inflammations are generated. In order to fix the bones and muscles around the affected part, a body orthopedic splint is used, Casts called cast-gibs and splints called semi-gibbs are known, depending on the form.

Cast is a cast-cast casting that completely surrounds the affected part when the patient's degree of injury is severe, and the casting does not effectively support the affected part due to shrinkage in the process of curing the casting, and it takes considerable time to wrap the bandage on the affected part In addition, there is no ventilation, and when it is fixed for a long time, it causes sweat, causing itching and unpleasant smell, and a separate cutter must be used when removing after completion of treatment, so that there is a risk of injury.

Splint is an anti-cast splint used to compensate for the disadvantages of casts. Splint is a splice for plaster, which is made of elastic fabric impregnated with a curable resin such as a moisture-curing polyurethane or the like on a polyester knitted fabric, a glass fiber knitted fabric or a non- As a splint improved in moldability, the splint is circulated in a packed state, and the package is peeled off at the time of use, so that the elastic fibers in the interior are quickly cured at room temperature.

An example of the procedure using the splint is as follows. First, the sealed package is opened and the splint is immersed in water so that the water is sufficiently penetrated into the inner hardening core, and the water is removed. In addition, after the splint is brought into close contact with the affected part, the wound is fixed by winding the whole of the affected part with the splint by a high-strength bandage, or the splint embedded in the package with the curable resin is exposed to the room temperature, So as to fix the affected part.

However, the conventional splint method requires a long time because the bandage should be wound around the affected part with a splint, and it is difficult to adjust the compression strength to an appropriate level. In addition, the water-dampened splint is applied to the arm or leg without being cured, and then wrapped around with a compression bandage before being hardened. The compression is applied together with the fixation. When excessive pressure is applied to the affected part, There was an inconvenience in use such as rewinding the bandage so that an appropriate level of compressive strength could be maintained.

Accordingly, Korean Registered Patent Application No. 20-0170262 (registered on November 25, 1999), Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2012-0120536 (published on November 22, 2012), Korean Patent No. 10-124970 (Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1444154), Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1332577 (Registered Date: Nov. 19, 2013), and the like, Splint has been proposed which is easy to wear and detach.

Korean Patent Registration No. 20-0170262 proposes a splint for a fractured patient having a synthetic resin panel attached to the inner surface of a stretch fabric paper (2) and a sponge on the outer surface, but since a separate compression bandage should be used as it is, The discomfort still existed.

Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2012-0120536 discloses a cover member, a pair of reinforcing members fixed to the cover member, a splint bag member into which a splint is inserted, However, since the fastening means is fixed to the cover member, it is difficult to change the use position depending on the use position, that is, the position of the affected part, so that the use of the splint fastening device may be limited.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-124970 discloses a bending splint for a barrel-cast which can easily wrap and fix a lesion in accordance with the patient's physique at the time of surgery and can be easily separated from the lesion after treatment to improve operability and fit. However, as in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2012-0120536, it is difficult to change according to the position of the affected part, so that the use thereof is limited, and there is no member for fixing the bending part of the body such as the elbow or ankle part, There is a limit to fixing them.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1444154 discloses a medical device comprising an inner skin contacting an area of a fracture, an outer skin bonded to the inner skin and having a space between the inner skin and a space between the inner skin and the skin, A curing core which is cured along with a surface of the outer sheath; a curing core which surrounds the curing core and the fracture portion while being in contact with the surface of the outer sheath and is detachably coupled to both ends of the core, The present inventors have proposed a curable splint for orthopedic surgery including a holder. However, as in the case of Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2012-0120536 and Korean Patent No. 10-124970, There is no member for fixing the bending part of the body such as an elbow or an ankle part There may be a limit to fixing the lesion stably.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1332577 discloses a sponge comprising a body enclosing a wound portion in which a splint including a hydro-forming casting tape is enclosed, a body extending integrally with the body and attached to one side of the body, However, according to the position of the affected part, as in the open patent publication 10-2012-0120536, the Korean patent registration No. 10-124970, and the Korean patent registration No. 10-1444154, It is difficult to change the position where the splint is mounted and the use thereof is limited, and there is no member for fixing the bending part of the body such as the elbow or the ankle part, so there may be a limit to stably fixing the affected part.
