Thumb Spica Splint Kit - OrthoTape
Everything you need in a splint kit to make the Thumb Spica Splint. Our OrthoTape Padded Synthetic Pre-Cut Splint material is a unique quick-setting splint system that already has the 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.
What is a Thumb Spica Splint used for?
A spica splint is a type of orthopedic splint used to immobilize the thumb and/or wrist while allowing the other digits freedom to move. It is used to provide support for thumb injuries (ligament instability, sprain, or muscle strain), gamekeeper's thumb, osteoarthritis, de Quervain's syndrome, or fractures of the scaphoid, lunate, or first metacarpal. It is also suitable for post-operative use or after removal of a hand/thumb cast. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spica_splint)
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.

Great kit.
Love the company and services
Great customer care and delivery. Hoping maybe some new colors of fiber.
But my go to ortho supplier for sure
I've had this brace once before, its great bec. you can wear it w/ sandals if you want! I'm not crazy about the fact that you have to provide your own glue, and the calf strap does NOT stay adhered to the velcro dots during use, I had to put super glue on them. I don't remember that issue when I had this brace in 2015. Otherwise, it works great! Lifts my foot really excellently.
