Emergency Splinting System
Product Family for Casting and Splinting
UCAST
UCAST is a support bandage for fracture treatment consisting of a thermoplastic splint and a breathable padded bandage. The product is pre-assembled and fits most patients, thus eliminating the need for measuring and cutting as with a plaster cast. All materials are non-toxic and hypoallergenic, eliminating the need for protective gear and reducing the risk of skin irritation. The splint is made of Woodcast, a biodegradable material that becomes mouldable under the influence of heat and adapts to anatomical conditions. If necessary, the splint can be reheated and reshaped.
评审团评语
The design of UCAST is inspired by the special properties of the Woodcast material, which are effectively implemented here.
