Description

Orthopedic Thermoplastic Splint {THERMOPLASTIC SPLINT}

The present invention relates to an orthopedic curable splint that does not move the injured fracture site when the arm or leg is broken or sprained, more specifically, it can be firmly fixed to the fracture site of the patient using a holder, If necessary, the present invention relates to an orthopedic thermoplastic splint which can be easily removed by easily removing the adhesive part of the holder.

In general, when an arm or leg is broken or sprained, non-surgical treatment is performed by fixing with an orthopedic splint to prevent the injured fracture from moving.

As a method of the orthopedic splint, a conventional method of winding a bandage coated with gypsum on the affected part has been widely used, but such a method causes shrinkage in the process of hardening the gypsum. It can not be effectively supported, it takes a considerable time to bandage the affected area, there is a problem of causing itching and sweating when used for a long time because it is not breathable, especially treatment of the affected area in the state of hardening after the procedure When it is finished, there is a problem such as hurting the skin during the cutting because you need to use a separate cutter to remove it.

Therefore, in order to solve the problem of the splint using the gypsum bandage, in recent years, it is distributed in a packaging state using thermoplastic plastics such as polyester knitted fabric, glass fiber knitted fabric, or nonwoven fabric, and when used, the packaging paper is peeled off and heat is applied to the thermoplastic plastic. Splints that harden along the shape of the fracture site are widely used.

When using a splint, first apply heat to the thermoplastic, closely adhere to the shape of the affected part, and fix the entire wounded part of the splint in contact with the splint as a high-elastic bandage. By molding to fit the condition of the affected area, complete curing is possible, and after about 3 to 4 minutes, the thermoplastic plastic is hardened firmly to fix the affected part so that the affected part is completely fixed to complete the splint procedure.
