Padded Frog Splints

Padded frog splints are specialized orthopedic tools used primarily for the immobilization and stabilization of injured or fractured limbs. They are named for their distinctive shape, which resembles the legs of a frog. These splints are designed with a combination of rigid support and cushioning to ensure both effective stabilization and patient comfort. The splints are padded with a soft, cushioning material to reduce pressure and prevent skin irritation. They are commonly used in first aid settings, emergency situations, and medical treatments to provide temporary support and alignment of bones and joints. The padding helps to absorb shock and distribute pressure evenly, while the splint’s structure maintains the proper alignment of the injured limb, aiding in the healing process and preventing further injury.
