Boxer Fracture Ulnar Gutter Splint Kit - OrthoTape


Everything you need in a splint kit to make the Boxer / Ulnar Gutter Splint. Our OrthoTape Padded Synthetic Pre-Cut Splint material is a unique quick-setting splint system that already has the padding built in. So, it is not necessary to add extra padding or stockinette to make the splint. Remove from pouch, wet, trim, and form around the patient's limb. Then apply our self-adhesive bandages with your kit to hold the splint in place. Allow 5-7 minutes for the splint to set and solidify.

One simple and proven method for immobilizing boxer's fractures is the ulnar gutter splint. The splint effectively immobilizes the patient's fourth and fifth fingers, the fourth and fifth metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints, and the wrist. ... The splint is easier to apply than a short-arm cast with an outrigger. (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.3810/psm.1999.01.620?journalCode=ipsm20)

Provides stability and allows the thumb to rest (severe arthritis at the base of the thumb).

Great for kid's broken finger with appropriate caution

I ordered this because my eight year old son had a very small fracture in his ring finger metacarpal. The doctor said a cast was too much, so just gave him a finger splint and told us to buddy tape, but said he couldn't play sports for four weeks. Our son was super bummed about missing practices and games, so we tried to find a removable cast or something similar and came across this. As a non-medical person I was nervous about forming the splint, but I watched the video a few times and pulled it off. (I was very careful to make sure I could take the fiberglass on and off as I went, because I didn't want to wind up in the hospital getting it cut off.) Anyway, it worked out great and we basically wound up with a removable half cast, formed perfectly to his hand and arm, that I can take on and off, using athletic wrap and tape so he's super safe and can keep playing with his teams. So this was an amazing product for us, but just required some care and caution in setting it.
