Great Ideas
One of our patients lost his splint on an airplane on an international flight. We actually received it one week later because it was in one of the cases that was printed with our address. So, our patient and his splint were reunited.
Most times, once a splint is lost, it is gone forever and then the patient has to invest in a replacement.
This week, a patient called with a good idea. She suggested that we ask our patients to include their splints on their homeowner’s insurance.
We thought that was a GREAT IDEA and wanted to pass it along to everyone!
In addition, please make sure you keep your splint away from your dogs. For some reason, dogs love to chew on and destroy splints. Many of our patients have come home to find Fido looking guilty and their splints in pieces.
To maintain their functionality, your splint should be checked every six months. If you notice a hole or if it feels worn out, give us a call! Protecting your investment is a GREAT IDEA!
