Its synthetic fiberglass construction ensures durability and lightweight wear, while the integrated padding simplifies the application process, making it an essential tool for healthcare professionals.

Benefits of Use

• Rapid Application: Pre-padded design significantly reduces application time, crucial in acute injury settings.
• High Rigidity: Offers robust immobilization and support for fractures and sprains.
• Lightweight and Breathable: Enhances patient comfort without compromising support.
• Conformable: Easily molds to body contours for a precise and secure fit.
• Radiolucent: Permits X-ray examination without the need to remove the splint.
• Water Activated: Simple and clean application process with controlled setting time.

How to Use

1. Prepare the Area: Ensure the affected limb is clean and dry. Position the limb to be splinted in the desired functional position.
2. Measure and Cut: Unroll the DYNACAST PRELUDE splinting roll to the appropriate length, ensuring sufficient overlap for immobilization, then cut with scissors.
3. Activate with Water: Submerge the cut splinting material in room temperature water (20-24°C) for approximately 5-10 seconds. Squeeze gently to remove excess water.
4. Apply and Mold: Immediately apply the wet splint to the limb, smoothing out any wrinkles. Mold the splint carefully to the contours of the limb, ensuring firm but not constrictive contact.
5. Secure the Splint: While the splint is still pliable, wrap it with a conforming bandage (e.g., crepe bandage) to hold it in place until fully set. The splint typically sets in 3-5 minutes, reaching full weight-bearing strength in 20-30 minutes.
6. Final Check: After setting, verify proper alignment and comfort. Monitor for any signs of pressure points or neurovascular compromise.

Caution & Warnings

• Professional Use: This product should only be applied by trained healthcare professionals.
• Skin Integrity: Do not apply directly to open wounds or compromised skin. Use appropriate wound dressings underneath if necessary.
• Thermal Reaction: A mild exothermic reaction (heat generation) occurs during setting. Monitor patient comfort, especially in sensitive individuals.
• Circulatory Compromise: Ensure the splint is not applied too tightly, which could impair circulation or nerve function. Regularly check for signs of neurovascular compromise (e.g., numbness, tingling, pallor, coolness).
• Disposal: Dispose of used splinting material according to local medical waste regulations.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original sealed packaging.
