Short Arm Cast (Prod 9499)

Short Arm Cast. Available sizes: XS S M L XL. This cast offers superb support and protection for major injuries to the wrist.It is used primarily for fractures to the distal radius or distal ulna, and can be employed for acute injuries as well as post-operatively.The SAC provides superb stability for all types of Colles fractures, Salter-Harris pediatric wrist and forearm injuries, and complex carpal injuries. It's signature feature is the Boa Technology ® adjustable closure system which provides for minute adjustments in circumferential compression of the cast. It can be tightened or loosened instantly as indicated, making the need to split or bivalve casts, to avoid compartment syndromes or the dread Volkman's ischemia, a thing of the past.Post-operatively the ability to loosen and examine a patient's wound, without needing to cut off or replace a cast, can be a major advantage. As with all Exos products, the ability to heat form and custom fit the cast to the patient's extremity ensures a uniformly comfortable fit.
