Posterior Sprained Ankle Splint Kit
Everything you need in a splint kit to make a Posterior Sprained Ankle Splint. Our OrthoTape Padded Synthetic Pre-Cut Splint material is a unique quick-setting splint system that already has the padding built-in. There is no need to add extra padding or stockinette to make the splint for a sprained ankle. Simply remove from the pouch, wet, trim, and form around the patient's ankle sprain. Then apply our self-adhesive bandages included with your kit to hold the ankle splint in place. Allow 5-7 minutes for the splint to set and solidify.
A posterior sprained ankle splint goes on the back of the leg whereas a stirrup ankle splint fits around the sides of the lower legs and the foot like a stirrup. The stirrup splint prevents inward and outward movement at the ankle (side to side)(inversion and eversion) and the posterior ankle splint keeps the ankle at a 90-degree angle (top to bottom). Sometimes the posterior splint and stirrup splint is applied together for even more support.
Much cheaper than having to go back to the doctors to get a new splint. Plenty of materials and shipped fast. Thanks

Easy to use
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.
It has a nice secure fit and is very durable. I would have given it 5 stars but finding the proper size for our grandson was not as easy as I would have liked. Eventually we settled on a slightly smaller than ideal size.
