TLC Elbow Splint
Though not ideal, the antecubital space is often used in emergency situations. The new, innovative TLC® Elbow Splint is ergonomically designed to fit the natural shape and topology of the elbow joint while increasing visibility for nurses to help reduce patient harm. Traditional IV armboards are not optimized for the antecubital space, and worse they allow the patient to bend the elbow. Only the TLC Elbow Splint secures the area of flexion while giving nurses a clear view of the IV insertion site.
