What is a neoprene splint?
Splint is an auxiliary device that is commonly used to re -assemble or support the body area. These stabilizers are usually used when a particular part of the body has suffered a certain type of injury and must be completely immobilized to prevent further damage to the area. On the other hand, neoprene splint is a flexible type of plate used to strengthen certain positions of the particular part of the body and to offer support for weakened or injured areas to reduce the chances of re -damage or worsening symptoms.
Made of breathable but insulated synthetic polymer material, these latex solidification systems support support without limiting all movement. Their ability to be adapted for molds provides cozy but flexible adaptation. This means that a neoprene plate can be used on bone areas such as a hand or leg without causing pressure points that can cause irritation and skin disintegration. Flexible nature also limits the amount of discomfort that withE is experiencing a injured or disabled limb would provide defense against added tension in the area. Suitable use of neoprene splints can also help fight sensory problems by providing heat and increasing blood flow.
In addition to providing support, neoprene splint can be used for compression. Compression reduces the amount of swelling caused by inflammation. Inflammation is a natural process in the body intended to protect the damaged area and stimulate the healing process by flooding the area with added blood and liquids. However, excessive or chronic swelling can cause further injuries and symptoms of pain, thereby limiting the body's ability to function properly. Control of swelling can allow individuals to increase the amount of function or use and restore normal blood flow.
These splints can be tailored to their ability to adapt to areas. Pressure areas that may develop can beFixed Through releases Velcro straps or by inserting small gel inserts over the bony parts. Support can be complemented by adding a plastic insert that provides a rigid surface to limit or prevent movement.
Support systems in neoprene tiles can also be inserted to maintain the area in a particular position. For example, with serious injuries or thumb disabilities, a stiff stay can be inserted to be in the normal position, far from the palm and fingers. For people suffering from a carpal tunnel, a neoprene plate with a solid insert running from wrists to palms offers a comfortable but correct placement of the hand and wrist to reduce the painful symptoms often associated with this recurring problem with use.
