  • Patent number: 6126622
    Abstract: An elongate medical splint product is provided for being dispensed in lengths suitable for a given medical use. The splint product includes a multi-layer moisture-hardenable plaster substrate having first and second opposed major surfaces. A soft foam cushion envelopes the first major surface and opposed marginal portions of the second major surface of the substrate. A moisture absorbent panel overlies opposed marginal portions of the second major surface of the substrate and the cushion. First and second spaced-apart rows of stitches extend along the length of the splint product and through the marginal portions of the substrate, the foam cushion, and the panel to bind the substrate, cushion, and panel together. This forms a unitary bandaging product which can be dispensed, cut to length, and applied without further assembly.
