Helpful Hints for Splinting – Part 3
• Perforated splint materials provide several benefits for your patient: ventilation, lighter weight and increased conformability.
• Gravity-assisted position: whenever possible, place the patient in a position that allows gravity to help you.
Example: This may mean having a patient in prone on the edge of a mat table with the hand resting on a footstool to position for an elbow splint.
• Pre-pad your splint (boney prominences) with self-adhesive padding. Splint over the top of the padding, remove padding from skin and place in splint recess.
• Rolyan brand hook and loop self-adhesive strapping should not be heated prior to application. The adhesive is specifically designed to work best when cold.
