1. When heating the splint blank, do not allow it to fold over onto itself
2. place paper toweling between the layers if the splint blank is too large to heat flat.

   - Pad bony prominences
   - Soften the splint blank in water heated to approximately 160°F (70°C) until pliable.
   - Remove from heat pan and place on a towel on a flat surface. Blot excess water
4. Position the arm in the desired position.
5. With the wide end of the splint blank proximal, form the splint on the arm.
6. Attach the shortest strap near the distal border of the splint and the longest strap near the proximal border.
7. The two intermediate-length straps can be positioned to secure the splint without crossing, or they can cross at the elbow.
8. To attach straps that cross:
   - Attach the self-adhesive end of one strap to the upper arm portion of the splint so it is centered between the medial and lateral borders
   - Angle the strap toward the elbow so it will cross the open area of the splint.
   - Attach the self-adhesive end of the other strap to the forearm portion of the splint, also centered between the medial and lateral borders and angled to cross the open area.
   - Wrap the upper arm strap across the elbow and attach the hook tab to the loop tab of the other strap.
   - Wrap the forearm strap across the elbow and attach it to the other strap.
