3D model description

WARNING: THERMOPLASTIC HAND SPLINTS SHOULD ONLY BE USED BY HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS. THIS 3D PRINTED SPLINT SHOULD ONLY BE USED BY HEALTHCARE INSTITUTIONS AFTER CAREFUL EVALUATION AND TESTING. USERS ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SPLINTS' USE.

DESCRIPTION

This is a resting hand splint printed flat and heat-formed around a patient's hand. It is currently undergoing evaluation and testing at a local children's hospital.

The 3D printed splints are 20 times cheaper and infinitely more versatile than the proprietary thermoplastic splints currently being used.

USE

The splints are arranged in small, medium, and large. They are printed flat, then submerged in a tray of boiling water. The excess water is quickly and completely wiped off before forming the splint around the hand of a patient.

Medical-grade padding material should be used wherever the splint makes contact with the patient's skin.
