Splint vs Cast
QUESTION: Why are splints used more often than casts at Hayes Hand Center?
ANSWER: Splints are made of a lighter material. They can be removed to wash your hand and do wound care as ordered by your MD. When there is a great deal of swelling, they can be remolded to fit you as your swelling goes down. This allows for a good fit all of the time.
