The 15 foot rolls of felt covered cut to length fiberglass is made by several different companies. The types of uses are very limited. I see it used in ER's and urgent cares. It is a great product when making a volar splint, or a sugar tong splint, but only for a non-displaced acute injury. It is just enough support to let the swelling go down while you are waiting to see an Ortho doctor. You could use it to make a removable posterior splint in an office setting to support but still let the patient remove for skin care and limited ROM. Ace wraps irritate the skin and I would make sure to put a sleeve of stockinette under the padded splint before applying an ace wrap. If the injury is anymore than a simple buckle, you should do more than a felt padded splint. First of all, applying stockinette and padding is a must to give mild compression and allow swelling to go away. Follow with custom cut plaster splints and secure in place with more Webril. Last would be an ace wrap. Now you are giving the Ortho team options. I can remove the splint and cast. I can remove just the ace and overwrap and extend with fiberglass rolls for fractures that were reduced, if you did a good job of padding. I cast over 200 patients a month during the summer months. It is not uncommon to get kids with forearm fractures in a simple felt covered fiberglass sugar tong splint with no padding. Patients deserve more.
Recently had one of these poorly applied. Sits too high on my hand, and too low on my elbow. Yes I feel pressure against that nerve often. Hell, they left it dripping and soaked my rolled up sleeve in the process. It was pressed down around my arm, simultaneously while my radius bone was set back into place. But I was glad for the bone to be set because several days had passed since I broke it and my hand was purple.
Another awesome tip from a pro. I'll be adopting this in my clinic.
