ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a splint for extremities and comprising a substantially stiff elongated frame and at least one supporting means, which can be connected to the frame and provided for the supporting and fixation of the extremity. According to the invention the objects of the same are obtained by means of a splint in which the supporting means comprises at least one flexible web provided to form a wrapping element for the extremity, which web exhibits a first edge fastened to the frame along an extension in the longitudinal direction of the same and thereby in the longitudinal direction of the extremity in its intended position, and a second edge, which is opposed to the first mentioned edge and arranged to be attached to the frame by means of a fastening means, which substantially extends parallel to said extension along which the first edge of the web is fastened, so that the web in a first position can form a spread-out surface, when the other edge is free, and a bag-shaped wrapping element for the extremity, when the other edge is attached to the fastening means.
