INTEGRATED ORTHOPEDIC BANDAGE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING THE SAME

摘要

The disclosure relates to water-curable orthopedic splints which can be immediately applied to an affected limb. The orthopedic splint comprises a water-curable orthopedic casting material, which is in the form of a splint, and a gel container. The word gel is meant to apply to a viscous semi-solid which can be applied over surfaces in an adherent film and will disperse and move in response to the movement of the practitioner's hands in molding and forming the adhesive bandage around the limb or in the formation of various shapes as splints prior to application to the patient. It is to be distinguished from a free-flowing liquid which drips when applied to a limb resulting in a messy environment.
