FOAM MANDIBULAR SPLINT.
Abstract
Under combat conditions the injury to the mandible is often complicated by tissue damage, both internally and externally. Nausea often leads to vomiting which is further aggravated by transportation over rough terrain. Under such conditions it is imperative that the patient be able to remove his bandage rapidly vomit, and replace the bandage afterwards. For this reason, an investigation of methods of immobilization of the mandible was conducted. As a result of this investigation a foam-in-place splint kit with quick release features was developed.
