ABSTRACT:
A splint includes a pair of hingedly-mounted frame sections for receiving the two limbs of the patient. Each frame section includes two frame members secured together to occupy a common plane, and an intermediate member pivotally mounted to the first frame member from an inoperative position in the common plane between the frame members, either to a first operative position on one side of the common plane or to a second operative position on the other side of the common plane. A flexible strip is joined between the second frame member and the intermediate member, and is of a width larger than the spacing between the frame members so as to form a curved bed for supporting the right limb of the patient when the intermediate member is in its first operative position, or the left limb of the patient when the intermediate member is in its second operative position.
