Favorite Splints

Post by hope16_05 »

Hello all,
I am starting an article for the next Outreach and I need your help to do so. We thought it would be really cool to have all of our favorite splints in an article for Outreach so that every one can see the large variety available to them. What works for one person might not for the next but the options are almost endless!
So if any one would be willing to share pictures and a little about the splint or splints that they have used and like or have gained the most from, that would be awesome!!! You can send them to amy@ubpn.org or hope16_05@yahoo.com.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I use the Donjoy Universal Wrist/Forearm Splint

For slings I use Deroyal TX 9902-06 which is a blue mesh arm sling.

Stuart, do you have a picture of the sling that you could send me? I am not sure where to find a picture of it.
Thanks,
