  • Patent number: 12042414
    Abstract: A splint device for stabilizing and/or securing a limb or appendage in a fixed position is provided. The splint device can include a first plate member and a second plate member connected together at one end by a hinged connection member. The hinged connection member can be configured to allow each plate member to be rotated relative to one another and selectively locked into a fixed position. The splint device can include a third plate member connected to the second plate member by a second hinged connection. The rotation of each plate member relative to the other can allow the splint device to be selectively positioned in a fixed configuration to generally match the shape and contour of a limb or appendage in a desired configuration. The splint device permits the accommodation of a joint (elbow, wrist, knee, ankle), and may provide for multiple configurations at a splinted limb.
