Improvise a splint?
First you need rigid material for support, for comfort some padding, and something to keep the splint in place. For example cardboard or a straight stick for rigid material, towels or clothing for padding, and tape to keep it in place.
Correct sequence of applying the splint?
A splint is used to provide temporary support to help reduce blood loss, pain or discomfort due to tendon or joint lacerations, sprains and fractures. First, the correct amount of material should be submerged in water until it stops bubbling, and then the excess water squeezed out. After flattening out the layers, the wet splint material is put over a cast padding with the edges folded over the ends. Elastic bandages can be used to secure the splint and keep it in place, and the splint will harden to the contour of your body.
What is a soft cast splint?
A soft cast splint is a type of splint which is made from a material called soft cast. Soft cast is a material made by 3M for casting. It is used in the same way as a normal fibreglass cast is made. The casting material does not set as rigidly as normal fibreglass casting and can therefore allow movemnet or give. The more layers of the material used the more rigid it wil become. Because soft cast is not as rigid, as say scothcast or thermosplastics, it tends to be more comfortable to wear. It is not suitable for immobilising a limb for example in the case of a fracture but can be helpful in cases wear some support is needed but movement allowed. I have made splints with softcast for the treatment of tendonitis as well as a transition from rigid splinting to none at all. The splint limits movement and protects the injured tissue. There are lots of other materials that can be used to make splints and indeed you don't specify what the splint is to be used for. The decision to use a certain material will be based a lot of factors including the type of injury, the person needing splint and their requirements and also the aims of immobilising. The resaon that I would choose to use this material over normal fibreglass casting and thermosplastics is that is softer and more comfortable. The reason I would go with something else include if I need a stronger splint or more rigid immobilisation.
