It appears to be a Muenster or sugar tongue splint to prevent pronation/supination |

Parece un yeso para fx de 1/3 medio de húmero. No la eligiría para nadie. Le diseñaría un brace de termoplástico ajustable con tres presillas con velcro. También puede ser un yeso seriado que usaría para lograr mayor extensión de codo. |

LOKS LIKE A SUGARTONGUE AND PROBABLY IS DONE LIKE THIS BECAUSE OF HAND VOLUME AND THE POSSIBILITY TO MACERATE SKIN AN CREATE OTHER PROBLEMS WITH A LARGER SPLINT. |
