Title: Orthotic Fabrication Static


1
Orthotic Fabrication Static Dynamic Splinting
2
Equipment
  • Heat guns
  • pin point nozzle
  • used to heat small focused areas on the splint
  • very intense heat - 300-700 degrees
  • Use soldering iron to punch holes in splinting
    material

3
Splint pans
  • Different sizes and types but they all do about
    the same things
  • frying pan - keep it on simmer
  • If your splint bath is broken remember the HP
    hydrocollator
  • splint bath is used to heat material initially
    and to make large adjustments to splint

4
  • Tin Snips
  • Razor blade knives
  • Scissors
  • Fiskars vs. heavy duty scissors
  • Smooth long strokes
  • try not to snip
  • practice with scraps

Safety
  • Dont mix electricity water
  • Keep heat guns on, but with heat off when not in
    use
  • dont place heat guns near paper, curtains,
    walls, pts, solvent, etc.
  • dont cut splint on the pt
  • wear gloves if pt has open wounds

7
  • solvent
  • cold spray
  • primarily used on dynamic components
  • splinting material gets its strength through its
    shape
  • build in curves
  • When lifting material from water handle it like a
    baby
  • it stretches

8
  • Wire benders
  • hole punch for
  • making straps

9
How do you manage curves that tend to buckle?
10
What is the position of function?

Types of static splints
  • Cock up
  • CTS, Wrist ligament repairs, wrist fx
  • Thumb spica
  • De Quervains - wrist 15 degrees of ext, IP free
  • carpal fx
  • arthritis
  • Gamekeepers thumb 3-4 weeks p injury
  • thumb fx
  • Resting hand splint
  • RA wrist neutral or 20-30 ext
