Description
Forearm Volar Splint Kit
Everything you need in a splint kit to make the Volar Cockup Wrist Splint. Our OrthoTape Padded Synthetic Pre-Cut Splint material is a unique quick-setting splint system that already has padding built-in. No need to add extra padding or stockinette to make the splint. Simply remove from the pouch, wet, trim, and form around the patient's limb. Then apply our self-adhesive bandages included with your kit to hold the splint in place. Allow 5-7 minutes for the splint to set and solidify.
Volar splinting is a technique for handling traumatic and non-traumatic injuries of the hand and wrist. The splint immobilizes and supports the metacarpals and carpals permitting room for swelling. The splint can be easily removed to examine wounds if necessary.
What is a volar splint used for?

It is used to protect the patient until a cast is applied or until surgical treatment is obtained. It can also be used for sprains and strains of the wrist.
