ABSTRACT:
A splint is disclosed for supporting the hand, wrist and at least a portion of the forearm during a time when a patient is connected to a lifeline, e.g. intravenous tube. The splint incorporates a substantially rigid molded body defining several shapes. Generally, a dome is provided for mating engagement with the palm of the hand and a transversely arcuate curved channel extends away from the dome to receive the wrist and a portion of the forearm. The contact surface is vented, as by a fabric covering, texture or perforations. The molded body further defines securing means for the lifeline, as in the form of rolled or beaded edges of the body which also add strength and rigidity. Fastening means for attaching the molded body to the hand, wrist and forearm are also incorporated in the form of straps fitted with fabric contact engaging means. A hole is defined in the molded body for tying it in a stable position.
