Gypsum splint
The names gypsum and splint are the two words Cast and Splint. The main purpose of using a cast or splint is to support damaged bone, injured joint and other limb tissues.
How to make a gypsum splint
In cases where the splint is made of plaster or fiberglass, the patient first sits or lies down. The doctor or therapeutic staff will open a strip of plaster or fiberglass and fold it over itself several times in the desired length so that several layers of plaster or fiberglass tape are placed on top of each other.
After soaking these strips in water and taking extra water, place it on a layer of cotton swabs. What is thus obtained is called a splint.
Then the joints of the target limb are placed at appropriate angles and the splint they have made is placed next to the limb and it is shaped like a limb and it is held next to the limb by a fabric band or bandage. Wait a few minutes for the splint to tighten. The splint is ready.
