ABSTRACT:
The splint has two modes of adjustment, flexible and rigid. It consists of a plurality of similar pads strung on a flexible wire. Friction elements are provided between pads. A take-up screw is provided at one end of the wire and a take-up eccentric at the other, permitting the friction elements to be adjusted to any desired degree of low friction between pads, or adjusted to such high friction as to lock the pads together. In another embodiment both the take-up screw and the take-up eccentric are at the same end of the flexible splint.
