6.4 Using the Repair Kit

Notee:

Use the repair kit supplied (Figure 11) to repair small rips or

punctures in the vacuum splints. If the damage is large or cannot be

repaired with the kit, replace the splint.

A patch can be used on any smooth part of the splint. Allow 30 minutes

to 24 hours for the patch to set in place.

1. Clean and dry the area to be repaired.
2. Cut the repair patch approximately 3/4" (19 mm) larger than the

hole. Round the corners of the patch.

3. Apply the glue to the patch.
4. Place the patch over the center of the hole. Press firmly and work

from the center out to remove all air bubbles.

5. Allow a minimum of 30 minutes for the patch to seal. The longer

the patch remains undisturbed, the stronger it will bond to the

splint. If possible, wait 24 hours before using the splint.
