How to use Rolyan Thumb Hole Wrist Cock-Up Splint?

Splints made from AirThru material: These splint blanks fit the right or left hand. Other splints: The splint blank can be applied to either hand— simply invert the splint blank. The splint blank can also be formed into a radial gutter splint—see instructions 9–14.

1. Heat splint blank as follows:
   • Splint blanks made from AirThru material: Soften these splints, which are packaged in a heat-sealed plastic bag, in heat pan of water at a temperature of 160° to 170°F (70°–75°C) for approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Cut open bag between heat seal and pressure-sensitive strip. If reheating is necessary, return splint blank to bag, close pressure-sensitive seal completely, and heat.
   • All other splints: Soften in water heated to approximately 160°F (70°C) until pliable. (Refer to the instructions for Rolyan splinting materials for information about working with specific splinting materials.) Remove from heat pan and place on a towel on a flat surface. Blot excess water.
2. Roll back the edge of the thumb hole until it accommodates the patient’s thumb.
3. If possible, place patient’s hand in supination to achieve a gravity-assisted position.
4. Standing in front of the patient, insert the thumb through the thumb opening and roll the edge of the thumb hole back to clear the thenar eminence (A).
