Forearm Volar Splint Fiberglass Kit
Everything you need in a Fiberglass 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?
The forearm volar slab splint also known as the cockup splint is a non-circumferential synthetic fiberglass shell used to temporarily immobilize fractures and soft tissue injuries of the wrist and forearm. 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.
I was very please with the purchase of the fiberglass thumb splint, it works well for my son. after i finally figured out how to use it, getting to form to his thumb and arm was a breeze.

Product was delivered quickly and arrived exactly as expected. It’s a top quality product, though it’s not needed I would personally add another roll of padding and appropriate sized stockinette for added comfort.
