Application Instructions

1. Open the SecureSleeve by releasing the hook-and-loop adjustment straps.

2. Orient the splint so that the plastic buckles are positioned towards the

patient. Infant sized splints will orient the strap towards the patient.

3. Adjust the splint to the desired position on the limb. The splint should be
centered over the elbow with the opening towards the inside of the arm.
For leg application, the splint should be centered over the knee with the
opening towards the front of the leg.

4. Secure the splint by threading the hook-and-look strap through the plastic
buckle and securing back onto itself. To secure an infant sized splint, wrap
the hook and loop strap around the limb and attach to the corresponding
hook and loop strip. Leave enough room to easily insert two fingers
between the device and the patient’s limb to maintain adequate circulation.

Optional

5. To reduce the splint size (i.e. for a limb that is in between sizes), fold the
outside panel with hook-and-loop towards the inner lining, minimizing the
splint width. Continue by following steps 2-4 as described above.

Clip Application:

The optional clips (Fig. 1) connect the splint to the patient’s sleeve and help
prevent the splint from sliding off the patient’s arm.

1. To open, grasp the prong portion of the clip and twist clockwise (Figs. 2 and

3).

2. Separate prongs (Fig. 4) and insert clip through splint loop (Fig. 5). To close,
grasp the prong portion of the clip and twist counterclockwise.

3. Clip to patient’s sleeve by squeezing sides of clip to open, and release to
secure (Figs. 6 and 7).
