ApplicAtion instructions
1. Open the Soft Splint by releasing the hook-and-loop adjustment
straps.
2. Orient the Splint so that the plastic buckles are positioned 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. Leave enough room to
easily insert two ngers 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.
