In the past, fracture, muscle injury, lumbar muscle strain and other diseases through plaster fixation, for a long time it is one of the important means of orthopedic treatment. However, in recent years, with the progress of science and technology and the development of society, patients have an increasingly high demand for various medical consumables. Among them, plaster bandage, which is commonly used in orthopedics, has been criticized by many fracture patients in recent years because of its slow hardening, fear of water, poor air permeability and other shortcomings, affecting clinical observation.

On the basis of the traditional plaster bandage, a new generation of orthopedic consumables, polymer splint, is developed and developed. It is composed of multiple layers of polyurethane, polyester impregnated polymer fiber, which is an ideal upgrading product of the traditional plaster bandage. Through clinical use of more than ten thousand cases, polymer splint has received a good clinical effect. So what should we pay attention to when using? Here's what to tell you:

Precautions for use:

1, the affected limb pad is high, to avoid swelling, is conducive to swelling;

2, closely observe the affected limb, if there is severe pain, purple cold, finger or toe flexibility is abnormal, immediately release the splint, do not delay time, otherwise easy to cause limb skin compression and ulcers and other serious consequences;

3. The fingers or toes outside the splint should be regularly exercised to promote blood circulation and accelerate fracture healing;

4. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the affected area clean and dry. Keep warm in winter to avoid frostbite;

5, regular review, found that the splint loose must be re-fixed. General review in the splint after 1 week review, after every two to three weeks review, until fracture healing;

6. Do not remove the splint by yourself without special circumstances. If there is any problem, contact the doctor in time.

At present, polymer plate has gradually replaced the traditional plaster bandage on the market, it is in hardness, weight, permeability, transmissivity, water proofing property has obvious advantages, but also cannot be denied the traditional gypsum action on this application in orthopaedics, plaster bandage, after all, has a long history of development, its contribution cannot be ignored. Only in mutual cooperation and coordinated development can they coexist.
