Splinting - Radial Gutter Splint

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video demonstrates how to create a radio gutter splint. It begins by wrapping a stockinette around the wrist and fingers, providing padding. The splint is then measured, cut, and rounded at the edges. It is wetted and placed over the fingers, with additional padding to hold it in place. The splint is wrapped around the fingers and hand, ensuring stability and control. Slits are cut and folded back to accommodate the stockinette and padding. Finally, an elastic bandage is used to secure the splint in place.
