ABSTRACT:
An inflatable bandage splint for the hand comprising an inner glove of impermeable sheet material and an outer envelope of impermeable elastic sheet material. The inner glove and outer envelope are sealed together to form a fluid-tight chamber which may be inflated through a valve provided in the outer envelope. The inner glove and the outer envelope are secured together at selected distal locations and in the vicinity of the wrist. Eyelets are mounted to at least some of the distal locations where the inner glove and outer envelope are joined together. Eyelets are also provided in the vicinity of the wrist. Thus, when the bandage is inflated, tensile members such as elastic cord can be threaded through the eyelets and tied to pull the hand into the desired restrained position.
