Fiberglass Splint Kits

Professional Fiberglass Splint Kits for Every Orthopedic Need

When you receive an injury or break, the affected part of the body needs proper support and immobilization. While orthopedic casts provide comprehensive support, many fractures and injuries don't require full casting. In these situations, a splint—a form of support that doesn't completely wrap around the body—provides the ideal solution for effective healing while maintaining some flexibility.

Our complete fiberglass splint material kits contain everything medical practitioners and informed patients need to set and maintain professional-grade splints. Each kit includes pre-padded splint material with built-in padding, self-adhesive bandages, synthetic cast padding, and gloves—no additional materials needed. Our unique quick-setting formula hardens in just 5-7 minutes for fast, efficient patient care.

Complete Splint Kits by Body Part & Injury Type

Ankle Splints - For Sprains, Fractures & Lower Leg Injuries

Posterior Ankle Splint Kit: Designed for severe ankle sprains, ankle fractures, distal tibia/fibula fractures, and Achilles tendon injuries. This splint goes on the back of the leg and keeps the ankle at a 90-degree angle, preventing plantarflexion and dorsiflexion movements that could aggravate the injury. Ideal for post-operative immobilization and high-grade ligament injuries requiring complete ankle stabilization.

Ankle Stirrup Splint Kit: Perfect for lateral and medial ankle sprains, ankle strains, shin splints, and hairline fractures. The U-shaped stirrup design fits around the sides of the lower leg and foot like a stirrup, preventing harmful inward and outward movement (inversion and eversion). Often used in combination with posterior ankle splints for comprehensive ankle immobilization.

Wrist & Forearm Splints - For Wrist Fractures & Carpal Injuries

Volar Dorsal Wrist Short Arm Splint Kit: Versatile kit for wrist fractures, distal radius and ulna fractures, wrist sprains, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tendinitis. Can be applied as either a volar (palm-side) or dorsal (back-of-hand) splint, depending on clinical need. Ideal for post-reduction immobilization and post-operative wrist stabilization.

Volar Wrist Splint Kit (Cockup Splint): Specifically designed for volar application along the palm side of the forearm and wrist. Immobilizes the wrist in neutral or slight extension while allowing finger movement. Perfect for wrist fractures, sprains, ligament injuries, carpal tunnel relief, and overuse injuries.

Sugar Tong & Reverse Sugar Tong Wrist Forearm Splint Kit: The ultimate solution for Colles' fractures, forearm fractures (radius and ulna), and distal radius fractures. This long U-shaped splint wraps from one side of the hand, up the forearm, around the elbow, and back down to the other side—preventing rotation and wrist motion while maintaining proper bone alignment. Essential for severe wrist injuries requiring maximum stabilization.

Hand & Finger Splints - For Metacarpal Fractures

Boxer Fracture Ulnar Gutter Splint Kit: Specifically designed for boxer fractures (4th and 5th metacarpal fractures) and ulnar-sided hand injuries. This splint runs along the ulnar (pinky) side of the forearm and hand, immobilizing the ring and pinky fingers while allowing the thumb, index, and middle fingers to remain functional. Ideal for post-reduction immobilization of metacarpal shaft fractures.

Thumb Splints - For Thumb & Wrist Injuries

Thumb Spica Splint Kit: Essential for DeQuervain's tenosynovitis, thumb sprains, gamekeeper's/skier's thumb (UCL injuries), scaphoid fractures, thumb metacarpal fractures (Bennett's or Rolando), and SMC joint arthritis. This specialized splint immobilizes the thumb and wrist while allowing other fingers complete freedom of movement. Perfect for post-operative use or after cast removal.

Elbow & Upper Arm Splints - For Elbow Fractures & Dislocations

Posterior Elbow Long Arm Splint Kit: Comprehensive solution for elbow fractures (distal humerus, olecranon, radial head), elbow dislocations, supracondylar fractures, and severe elbow sprains. This straight splint runs along the back (posterior) of the arm from upper arm to the hand, preventing harmful elbow flexion and extension during healing. Commonly used as initial treatment before definitive casting or surgical intervention.

How to Choose the Right Splint for Your Condition

For Ankle Injuries: Use posterior ankle splints for fractures and severe sprains requiring 90-degree positioning. Use stirrup splints for lateral stability and preventing side-to-side movement. Combine both for maximum ankle immobilization.

For Wrist Injuries: Volar splints work for most wrist fractures and carpal tunnel. Sugar tong splints are essential for forearm fractures and injuries requiring rotation prevention. Choose based on whether you need wrist-only or forearm-and-wrist immobilization.

For Hand Injuries: Boxer fracture kits are specifically designed for 4th and 5th-metacarpal fractures. Thumb spica splints isolate thumb injuries while keeping other fingers functional.

For Elbow Injuries: Posterior elbow long arm splints provide comprehensive immobilization from upper arm to the hand for fractures and dislocations.

Professional Application & Educational Use

Our fiberglass splint kits are designed for application by trained medical professionals or for educational training purposes. We provide easy-to-follow video tutorials showing proper application techniques for each splint type. Always consult a doctor before use for proper diagnosis and treatment—injuries should be evaluated by a medical professional to rule out serious fractures, nerve damage, or vascular complications.
