Compared with plaster bandage, polymer bandage and splint have obvious advantages, and they are a new type of orthopedic consumables instead of traditional plaster. Used in orthopaedics, hand surgery for fracture, sprain, soft tissue, joint ligament tendon and other fixation is suitable for fixation of the affected area after limb fracture. So how to choose the two in use?

First, let's take a look at the scope of application of polymer bandages and splints:

1. A fracture of the green branch of the shaft of the extremities.

2. Injury of flexor and extensor tendons or ligaments of extremities, injury of cruciate ligament of knee joint, rupture of Achilles tendon.

3. Muscle injury or fracture of the extremities.

Secondly, let's discuss how to choose polymer bandages or splints in clinic:

Polymer bandage:

It is generally suitable for fracture patients after removing stitches, the swelling of the affected part of the patient is basically eliminated, and the wrinkles after the elimination of swelling appear. At this time, the polymer splint can be removed and replaced with polymer bandage and fixed with tubular plaster. Generally recover in about a month. For patients who are inconvenient to stay in hospital for a long time, after the limb swelling is eliminated one week after operation, it can be fixed with tubular plaster and open windows at the surgical incision to facilitate wound dressing change.

Polymer splint:

Generally suitable for early fracture or limb ligament tendon injury, so the swelling is obvious, doctors generally choose polymer splint to fix the affected limb, and then winding ordinary gauze; it is convenient for surgical or non-operative treatment after diagnosis. The limb swelling of the patient is more serious about a week after operation, and the doctor has to observe the wound every day. The splint fixation is easy to operate, easy to remove and easy to change dressing.

In a word, polymer splint is generally used for temporary fixation after fracture, which is convenient for postoperative nursing and dressing change, while polymer bandage is used for long-term fixation in late rehabilitation. The polymer bandage splint is a high-tech product, which has the characteristics of safety and environmental protection, light and strong, waterproof and breathable, flexible and easy to operate by doctors, comfortable and beautiful for patients to use, and is the best choice for clinical orthopedic consumables.
