Soft, secure leg support inside the frame with the Kinetec Thomas Splint Sling
The Kinetec Thomas Splint Sling gives the leg a comfortable place to rest inside the Thomas Splint frame. The slings are foam with hook and loop fixing, and they're for single patient use. They come in packs of 4, in three lengths: 45cm, 50cm and 60cm. They also fit other makers' Thomas Splints.
A soft bed for the leg
Wrap the slings across the two bars of the leg support, one after another, to build a padded bed along the length of the frame. You can mix sling sizes on one splint. The hook strips stop neighbouring slings slipping apart, so the support stays even under the leg.
What's in the Kinetec Thomas Splint Sling
- 4 foam slings in the length you choose.
- Hook strips to join neighbouring slings and keep them from slipping apart.
