If someone gets injured, and it looks as though the leg has broken, this Emergency Splint is a good choice. It may also keep the broken bone from moving so much, which can be extremely painful. An Emergency Splint can also help stop you from doing damage until you can see a doctor.
For an emergency splint, you can use some materials such as a stick or a piece of cardboard, some cloth, or a bandage, and some tape. Step one: Assemble First, locate a stick or strip of cardboard that is nearly as long as the injured arm or leg. Next, lay the stick or cardboard along the injured limb. Wrap this cloth or bandage gently around the stick or cardboard and the injured part of your body. It needs to be of a reasonable tightness, but don’t over do it (or under do it). Finally, the cloth or bandage should be taped into position. Just remember, don’t bring the injured body part too far back when you put Emergency Bracing on it.
An Emergency Splint is valuable in that it can help prevent further injury to an injured arm or leg. It may also help to ease discomfort and prevent injury.

Makes sense to use an Emergency Splint if you are in a location where help may take awhile to get to you. But it is always advisable to see a doctor or a medical professional as quickly as you can.
