ABSTRACT:
A compound splint, primarily for use after nasal surgery, prevents edema fluid from splaying the bones apart so that they will grow back together and includes a base layer of adhesive tape applied directly to the nose, a secondary component of flexible material adhesively secured to the base layer and having a multiple loop formation on its outer face, and a primary restraining component. The latter includes a panel of malleable metal and a layer of fabric secured to one face of the panel, the fabric having a multiple hook formation. In use, the primary component is applied to the central portion of the secondary component, engaging some of the hooks and loops. The side portions are then pressed inwardly against the sides of the nose to the desired final shape, engaging the balance of the hooks and loops. Thus the primary component is securely anchored in place and prevents any change in size or shape of the traumatized nose during recovery.
