ABSTRACT:
A medical splint kit having reusable components and serviceable during the X-raying of the body part involved. The kit has a splint member formed from a material transparent to X-irradiation such as an acrylic plastic. The splint also includes sections of minute loops or hooks to facilitate its affixation to the body member. Straps having hooks or loops, respectively, which will engage the sections on the splint affix the splint to the body. By incorporating sections of both hooks and loops, the strap, after surrounding the body member, will adhere to itself and retain the splint adjacent to and supportive of the injured area. A second splint member may also form part of the kit. A locking device passing through slots in both members hold the members together and provide an adjustable splint that can conform to the particular body member involved. Non-skid surfaces on both splint members will aid the splint in retaining their respective configuration. The kit allows the application of the splint on a single side of a body extremity and its continued use through the X-raying of that portion.
