Judgements:
1. A thermoplastic splint is a device used to immobilize, protect and support injuries such as fractures, sprains and strains. Thermoplastic splints differ from traditional plaster casts in that they are lighter, easily molded to fit the body of the individual patient and can be removed for cleaning.
How to use?
Place splint in 65-70°C water for 1-3 minutes or until it becomes pliable. Remove and blot dry with a clean towel. Mold the splint around the body parts (like an arm or leg) until it is the correct shape. As this splint cools, it will harden into a rigid, protective covering.
Quota
1. If the size of the thermoplastic nasal splints is not quite suitable to my nose, how should I do?
---- The nasal splint has the features of pliability, if it is a little small, it could be strengthed a little to cover the nose.
If the nasal splint is too big, it allows to be trimmed to the right shape or size before used.
2. From the description, the thermoplastic nasal splint could become soft enough after put them into 65-70 degree hot water to 1-3 minutes. But why it cannot become so soft even I use the water in 75 degree?
----I guess you used a very small container to soften the thermoplastic nasal splints, even it couldn't become soft enough, the temperature of the water have turned down a lot. (For example, a bowl or a cup ). I suggest you put it into a deeper container which could fill more water. If you just want to make it by a small cup, you can increase the temperature of the water up to 85 degree. That's no problem.
3. Can I use a microwoven to soften the thermoplastic nasal splints instead of hot water?
----Yes, it's also ok. But be careful to hurt your hand when you put it out.
4. Some people said it cannot stay well , what happened?
--- I suggest you accept the operating with the help of your doctor. Doctors usually put some micropore tapes before wear the thermoplastic nasal splints. I guess that's the difference.
