Usage Guidelines
Select the appropriate size and position the splint along the injured limb to ensure full immobilization. Secure it with appropriate bandaging or wrap material as directed by clinical protocol. Do not over-tighten securing wraps to maintain proper circulation. The splint may be used in conjunction with padding or liners for additional comfort. Follow facility guidelines for cleaning, reuse, or disposal as applicable.
