What is a "splint"?
A splint is a medical device used to support and secure injured limbs or fractures, helping to prevent further damage and encourage healing. It typically includes firm materials such as metal, plastic, or padded boards that are tied or wrapped around the affected area. Splints help to hold the bones and joints steady, reducing pain and preventing movement that could worsen injuries. They are commonly used in emergencies, sports injuries, and after surgeries to protect and help in the recovery of injured limbs or joints.
