Preformed splints are orthopedic devices made of thermoplastic materials, pre-shaped to fit a specific body part or joint. They are commonly used in hand therapy and rehabilitation to provide support and immobilization and also to assist in pain management.
One of the benefits of preformed splints is their ability to provide consistent and precise immobilization without the need for complicated and time-consuming molding procedures. They are also easy to adjust and re-fit as needed, making them ideal for ongoing therapeutic use.
Preformed splints are used to treat various conditions, including sprains, strains, fractures, and nerve damage. A specialized Foot Drop Splint can effectively treat specific symptoms like foot drop. Overall, preformed splints are a versatile and effective tool for supporting the healing and recovery of injured or impaired joints and muscles.
