How To Apply a Sugar Tong Ankle Splint
Warnings and Common Errors for a Sugar Tong Ankle Splint
Do not wrap the padding or elastic too tightly (ie, neither should cause indentations in the skin). Be sure not to let the ankle joint relax while the splint hardens so that the 90°flexion angle is lost. Avoid irregular contours and potential pressure spots by using the palms of your hands rather than the fingertips to smooth out the splinting material.
