ABSTRACT:
Surgical splints, including finger splints and fence splints, have thin and lightweight bases incorporating stiffening ribs to provide the stiffness and strength of thicker, heavier splints. Splints have aluminum bases with corrugated stiffening ribs, and plastic bases with integral stiffening ribs, wherein the plastic is rigid at room temperature and moldable at slightly higher temperatures. Additional splints have hand moldable plastic bases with metal wire, braided metal wire or wire mesh encapsulated therein to provide stiffness. The splints have more stiffness along their length than across their width. Splint pads are attached to splint bases by double-stick tape or removably attached by statistical loop fasteners.
