Abstract:
It is not an easy task to fix the frightened child's arm or leg for intravenous infusion therapy. With the splints available still a lot of improvisation is needed--and yet not always sufficient fixation of the limb is achieved. A new kind of pediatric splint for infusion therapy has been developed and proved service for 16 months in daily pediatric hospital needs.
