Sugar Tong Splint

An Adult Arm Splint is a rigid or semi-rigid orthosis used to immobilize the forearm, wrist, and elbow following fractures, sprains, strains, nerve injuries, and surgery. Available in various configurations including volar, dorsal, sugar tong, and coaptation splints, it provides essential protection during the acute phase of injury and the early healing period. Applied with appropriate padding to protect bony prominences, the splint limits movement, reduces pain, and supports healing. Proper fit, circulation monitoring, and skin integrity checks are essential for safe use.
