FAQ
Splint vs. Cast: This is the most common definitional search. A Cast is rigid, fully encircles the limb, and provides complete immobilization for stable fractures. A Splint (or half-cast) provides support but is non-circumferential (open on one side), allowing for swelling, adjustments, and easier removal for hygiene or examination. Splints are often used first.
Cast Protection & Hygiene: Protecting the Splint or Cast from moisture is critical for skin health and maintaining its strength. Use specialized waterproof covers or bags that seal above the cast/splint line when showering. Wet casts can cause skin breakdown, odor, and weaken the material.
Safety & Warning Signs: This addresses urgent safety searches. While some initial swelling is normal, signs of serious issues are: severe, unrelenting pain; numbness or tingling in the fingers/toes; cold or pale skin below the cast; or inability to move the fingers/toes. If these symptoms occur, seek medical attention immediately.
Comfort & Itching Management: Never insert objects into the Cast to scratch. To manage itchiness, you can try applying a thin stream of cool air from a hairdryer (on the cool setting only). Odor is often caused by moisture or sweat; ensure the cast/splint stays dry and keep the exposed skin clean.
Cast Maintenance & Edges: Rough edges on a Cast can irritate the skin. Do not trim or break off parts of the cast yourself. Cover sharp edges with soft moleskin or medical tape, being careful not to push anything inside the cast. If the cast is seriously cracked or crumbling, contact your doctor for replacement.
Skin Care Safety: No. Do not apply any lotions, oils, or powders inside the Splint or Cast. These products can clump, retain moisture, and create an environment that encourages skin irritation and infection, which you will not be able to clean. Keep the cast and the underlying padding completely dry and clean.
