How works?

1. Prepare the materials and tools, set the water bath to 65-70°.

2. Choose the right pre-cut, or cropped the thermoplastic sheet to the right shape.The patients need to learn the entire operating process in order to cooperate well. (e.g. the cotton stockinette is used to protect the skin from scratchings)
3. Put the splint sheet into the 65-70° hot water for 2-3 minutes, it could become soft. Remove it to the worktable, make it dry.
4. Place the splint sheet to the user's body part, mould it to the right shape accordingly.  Turn outwards the hard edges, thus to prevent hurts. Adjust the splint to the right angle.
5. Tubular splint could be shaped with two sheets combined together.
6. If a molding work is failed, it can be soften into the hot water and reshape again. Especially used for those who need multiple moldings due to the disappearance of edema.
7. After the splint becomes stiff, adjust the edges to the right status. (Paddings or trimms could be used on the bone protrusions and joints, thus to avoid any crushings)
8. Velcro and elastic bandages are used to fasten the splints on the right position.
9. Window opening can be used for open injury.
Precautions
1. Mould the splint with palm and thenar, avoid a large extent of pull during molding process. Ask the user to maintain the same position until the splint become stiff. The edge of the splint should be rolled out into smooth edges, so as to prevent hurts.
2. The splint can be cleaned with a neutral soapy cold water.
3. Keep the splint away from heat sources. I.g.: open flames or microwave ovens, etc.; If the temperature exceeds 50°, the splint will become soft and deformed.
4. Heating gun is prohibited when the splint is on the user's body part.
5. Repeat use is not be suggested.
Storage: Prevent direct sunlight, away from heat sources, avoid contact with acid-base, oil and corrosive gases.
