  • Cover for orthopedic splinting rods and method of installation
    Patent number: 5300075
    Abstract: The present invention sets forth a cover for orthopedic splinting rods which in its broadest sense consists of a single sheet of material which is formed into a cylinder having a longitudinal slit up its side and a curved top of the cap to allow for natural resilience of the cap to hold the walls of the cap against the edges of the ends of the splinting rods to insure retention of the cap on the ends of the splinting rods. An embodiment for external use encases the metal cap in a plastic housing having a gripping means to assist in the installation of the cap on the ends of the splinting rod. The external housing has smooth surfaces to avoid and minimize any trauma to surrounding body tissue.
