OSTEO
In massive emergencies situations, such as natural disasters, the number of injured people is really high, one of the most common injuries involves broken bones. Due to their long treatment the victims of these kind of injuries are not a priority to be assisted. Immobilization of the bones is a crucial step to prevent further damages. So that we propose a 1st AID solution that, thanks to the VHB tape properties, can achieve to connect the quickness of a splint with the resistance of the cast. Thought to be a new kind of splint, that unite the strength of the cast and the lightness, versatility of the splint.
The innovative characteristics are the incredible lightness and the transportability due to the fact that comes as a flat sheet of material You will receive a flat sheet of plastic (HDPS) with the bend directions to follow, so that from a 2D splint we are going to have a 3D one ready to use. In order to let Osteo fit in both legs and arms without having sizes, the average body dimensions has been considered (95 percentile).
Once having composed the 3D shape you just have to insert the damaged part and stick the stripes (if needed you can easily cut with hands the extra part of the stripes). Composed by two parts, the way of use it is intuitive and fast, the object have no size, can be used in both ways, can be used just one parts or both as needed.
