Abstract:
Objective To develop a portable, easily-used and effective fracture fixation material during emergency treatment of battle wound. Methods Based on vacuum plasticity, macromolecule particles were filled into prefabricated bag, in which the air was deflated. The bag became stiff. When it was bound with belt, it acted as fracture fixation. Results Experiments showed that this kind of splint attached closely with body without any accessorial material. The effect was good without any restriction from region or environment. Conclusion This kind of fracture fixation splint has advantages in operation time, applicable parts and fixation effects compared with other fixation material.
