ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a disposable, foldable and inflatable protective sleeve for a conventional, re-usable, rigid splint board. The sleeve comprises three juxtaposed sheets of thermoplastic material fastened together to form two expansible pockets. One of the pockets is provided with an opening for insertion of the rigid splint board to provide a sanitary splint to support, in an immobile position, the limb of a patient. A valve is associated with the other of the pockets so that it may be inflated to provide a yieldable, cushion-like surface between the splint and the limb for maximum patient comfort. Advantageously, the inflated pocket will apply a stretching force to the first pocket to retain the rigid splint board securely therein. Prior to use, the protective sleeve is compactly foldable for convenient, sanitary storage. The disclosed structure affords easy insertion of a conventional splint board and subsequent inflation for a highly effective limb support. After use, the sleeve is disposable.
