What is a Sugar Tong Splint?
The sugar-tong or reverse sugar-tong forearm splint is a long U-shaped splint that immobilizes the injured forearm and wrist and prevents rotation and wrist motion. The sugar tong heals fractured bones by keeping the fractured ends together and in proper alignment. It got its name because of its long shape and similar look to the utensil used to pick up sugar cubes. This splint design provides superior stability by wrapping from one side of the hand, up the forearm, around the elbow, and back down to the other side of the hand.
Key Features:
Pre-Padded Design: Padding already built into splint material—no extra layers needed
Quick-Setting: Hardens in just 5-7 minutes for fast patient care
Easy Application: Wet, trim, form, and wrap—simple 4-step process
Complete Kit: Includes splint, self-adhesive bandages, cast padding, and gloves
Professional Quality: Same materials used by orthopedic specialists and emergency departments
U-Shape Design: Provides superior forearm and wrist stability
Prevents Rotation: Stops harmful forearm rotation and wrist movement

Why Buy Direct Instead of at Your Doctor's Office?
Purchasing your wrist splint kit directly from OrthoTape offers significant advantages over getting it at your doctor's office or emergency room. You'll save money—we charge considerably less than what medical facilities typically bill patients or insurance companies for splinting materials. Emergency room splint applications can cost $300-600 or more when billed through insurance, while our complete kit costs a fraction of that. Many medical offices have limited inventory and may only stock basic white bandages, while we offer multiple color options so you can choose what you prefer. Our splint materials are the same professional-grade products—if not better—than what your doctor or ER uses, meeting or exceeding all industry standards. By ordering from us, you get exactly what you need at a fraction of the cost, with fast shipping directly to your door. You can bring this kit to your doctor's appointment or urgent care for application, or if you're trained, apply it yourself. Many patients save hundreds of dollars by purchasing their splinting supplies in advance rather than paying inflated medical facility prices.

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.
