Introduction to Splinting with Scotchcasts

by John Russell, DNP, APRN, AGACNP-BC, FNP-BC, CCRN, CRNFA

Splinting with scotchcasts is an important skill for healthcare professionals. A scotchcast is a type of synthetic casting material that is commonly used for immobilizing and stabilizing broken bones, sprains, and strains. By understanding the principles and techniques of splinting with scotchcasts, healthcare professionals can provide effective treatment and management of musculoskeletal injuries.

The process of splinting with Scotchcasts involves applying a soft, padding material to the injured area, followed by the scotchcast itself. The material hardens quickly and forms a rigid structure that provides support and stability to the injured limb. Healthcare professionals must be able to assess the injury and apply the splint appropriately to prevent further damage or discomfort to the patient.
