ABSTRACT:
A modular splint system includes segments that are connectable to each other with a velcro.RTM.-like material. Multiple segments can be connected to each other so as to form an elongated splint. Normally two elongated multi-segment sections are placed on opposite sides of a broken limb and are connected firmly to each other by a strap that engages the velcro.RTM.-like material on the backside of the splint segments. An inflatable air cushion is located on the inside of each splint segment. The air bag may be filled with a coolant in order to reduce swelling and the like. All the components of the splint system and can be stored in a relatively small travelling case.
