Static splints are devices used to immobilize a body part, typically a limb, to promote healing and prevent movement. They are often made from materials like plastic, foam, or metal and are designed to hold the affected area in a fixed position. Static splints are commonly used for injuries such as fractures, sprains, or post-surgical recovery. These splints can be applied in various settings, including hospitals and clinics, and are often customized to fit the patient's specific needs. By limiting motion, static splints help reduce pain and swelling, allowing the body to heal more effectively. They are an essential tool in rehabilitation and injury management.
