Description
WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?
The RAP Thoracotomy Splint is used to position patients at various angles on their sides or back.
The Splint is made from welded Mediflex – a vinyl specially designed for medical use that is resistant to bacteria and easily wiped clean.
WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?
Normally used in operating theatres or hospital wards.
BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Place the RAP Thoracotomy Splint on the operating table and have the patient lie on top of the Splint. A drape can be placed over the Splint if necessary. Move the beans inside the bag around the patient to form a supportive mould. Connect a suction tube to the Splint. As the air is expelled, ensure the beans are holding the patient in the correct position.
We recommend that the suction is kept connected during an operation to ensure the Splint remains firm. For short periods, the suction can be removed, provided the plug is inserted to prevent air from going back into the Splint.
Monitor the Splint in case it starts to lose rigidity and, if necessary, reconnect it to a suction tube.
