Axillary burns and contractures are physically debilitating. Early splinting and patient compliance is crucial to maximise functional outcomes. Traditional treatment of axillary contractures involves fabrication of thermoplastic aeroplane splints. However, thermoplastic splints can be time consuming to fabricate, heavy, uncomfortable and difficult to don by patients and family. Due to these problems a modified high-density foam (HDF) aeroplane splint was designed. The purpose of designing a different type of aeroplane splint was to increase compliance, comfort and ease of use for health professionals, patients and family, and to decrease fabrication time.
腋窝烧伤和挛缩会导致身体功能衰弱。早期使用夹板固定并确保患者配合对于实现最佳功能效果至关重要。腋窝挛缩的传统治疗方法包括制作热塑性飞机夹板。然而,热塑性夹板制作耗时、重量大、佩戴不舒适,患者及家属难以自行穿戴。鉴于这些问题,设计了一种改良的高密度泡沫(HDF)飞机夹板。设计不同类型飞机夹板的目的是提高医护人员、患者及其家属的配合度、舒适度和使用便利性,并减少制作时间。
