Technical Data Sheet for the KRUUSE 25x200mm Plastic Splint with Foam

The KRUUSE brand 25×200 mm plastic splint with foam padding is an orthopedic device designed for the temporary immobilization and support of limbs in small and medium-sized animals. Made with high-quality materials, it combines a moldable plastic structure with a foam lining that improves patient comfort and reduces the risk of pressure point injuries.

Composition and Materials

• Thermoformable plastic: It allows the splint to be easily adapted to the individual anatomy of the patient by applying heat.
• Foam filling: It provides additional cushioning, protecting the skin and soft tissues.
• Radiolucent: Its design does not interfere with radiographic studies, allowing continuous monitoring without the need to remove the splint.

Clinical Applications

The KRUUSE splint is indicated for multiple veterinary clinical situations, including:

• Simple fractures in distal extremities.
• Post-surgical immobilization after osteosynthesis.
• Support in tendon or ligament injuries.
• Temporary correction of angular deformities in young animals.

Product Advantages

• Anatomical customization: thanks to its thermal molding capabilities.
• Interference-free monitoring: Being radiolucent, it does not block the visualization of bone structures.
• Low risk of irritation: The foam coating minimizes friction and improves tolerance to prolonged use.

Mode of use

1. Heat the plastic with a controlled heat source (hot water or heat gun) until it is malleable.
2. Mold it onto the patient's limb, ensuring an anatomical fit without excessive pressure points.
3. Let it cool until it regains its rigidity.
4. Secure with cohesive bandage or veterinary adhesive tape according to the clinical protocol.
