Dukal 8014 - Arm Fracture Splint, Child, 1/EA
The Dukal 8014 Arm Fracture Splint for children is a lightweight, pre molded splint designed to provide stable support and immobilization for pediatric arm fractures and injuries. It features a contoured shape that fits comfortably along the childs arm, maintaining proper alignment and promoting healing. The durable yet flexible construction allows clinicians to apply the splint quickly and effectively, ensuring both comfort and stability during recovery.
Key Benefits
This splint offers strong immobilization without adding unnecessary weight, reducing discomfort, and improving patient compliance. Its pediatric-specific design ensures a proper anatomical fit for smaller arms. The soft, smooth edges help prevent skin irritation and pressure points, while the durable materials maintain their shape under stress. The single-use, sterile configuration supports infection control and simplifies post-procedure care.
Compatibility and Applications
The Dukal Arm Fracture Splint is compatible with standard medical bandages, wraps, and immobilization accessories. It is widely used in emergency rooms, urgent care centers, pediatric clinics, and orthopedic practices. Typical applications include temporary stabilization of fractures, sprains, and dislocations prior to casting or further orthopedic intervention.
Usage Guidelines
Inspect the splint for damage before use. Position the splint along the injured arm with the pre-molded curve matching the natural contour of the limb. Secure with elastic or conforming bandages to hold the splint in place, ensuring adequate immobilization without restricting circulation. Reevaluate positioning after securing and adjust as needed for comfort and stability. Dispose of after single use according to facility guidelines.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal 8014 Arm Fracture Splint is manufactured under strict quality assurance systems that meet applicable medical device regulations and safety standards. The product is sterile, single-use, and designed to comply with FDA and ISO quality system requirements for medical devices. Each unit is clearly labeled with lot and expiration information to ensure traceability and compliance.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared with standard adult-sized splints or generic foam boards, the Dukal pediatric arm splint offers a better anatomical fit for children, improving immobilization quality and comfort. Its lightweight yet rigid construction ensures stability similar to higher cost orthopedic splints but at a more economical price point. The ease of application and soft edges provide an advantage over traditional plaster or metal splints, particularly in pediatric emergency settings.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This splint is primarily used by emergency medical staff, pediatric nurses, and orthopedic technicians treating children with forearm or wrist injuries. Common use cases include stabilization of simple fractures, support during transport, or protection after minor orthopedic procedures. It is also suitable for first aid teams and clinics handling pediatric trauma cases.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store the splint in a cool, dry environment in its original packaging until use. Handle with clean or gloved hands to maintain sterility. Avoid bending or reshaping the splint excessively, as this may compromise its integrity. Use proper securing materials to ensure the splint stays in place and does not shift during patient movement. Dispose of in accordance with clinical waste regulations after use.
Regulatory and Safety Information
Intended for single use only. Do not reuse, reprocess, or resterilize. Use under the supervision of qualified healthcare personnel. Follow institutional and local safety regulations regarding the use and disposal of sterile orthopedic devices.
