A spica splint consists of a metal enclosed in a fabric, which is pliable and can be moulded according to the shape and size of the hand. Velcro strips are used to secure and maintain the splint on the hand and help in comfortably fitting the splint to a variety of hands.
Splints are also necessary to immobilize unset fractures when a patient is moved after an accident; they prevent motion of the fractured bone, which might cause greater damage. In a pelvic or spinal fracture, the effect of splinting is achieved by placing the patient on a stretcher or board.
