How It Works
-
Apply SafeSplint at the time of upper extremity injury prior to obtaining professional orthopedic attention. Comfortably inflate SafeSplint to fit to the patient hand in a safe anatomical position while rigidly immobilizing the fracture for patient comfort for up to fourteen (14) days. Remove and reapply the splint by the provider when necessary and adjust air pressure by the patient for comfort.
The packaged stockinette may be used to reduce irritation or moisture of the patient when using SafeSplint. Ensure that any broken skin is bandaged prior to applying the device.
Patients should not remove the device without provider instruction to do so. If the patient is experiencing symptoms such as tingling or numbness of the hand or fingers, remove air pressure from the bladder(s) while maintaining device structure. If the symptoms persist, the patient should contact their provider immediately.
