CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 8, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) \u2013- MakeITMarket USA is excited to announce a new custom wound shield that protects injuries within five minutes. It\u2019s the USplint\u2122 and it\u2019s American-made. Ideal for professional first aid kits, medical, dental and even veterinary applications, this new injury protection device is getting noticed.<\/p>\n
\nIt\u2019s already been tested and purchased by Special Forces and quickly covers wounds or burns. It offers a strong shield to protect affected areas from further injury.<\/p>\n
Manufactured in Charlotte, N.C., USplint\u2122 is patent-pending and is a fast and easy solution for people to use in the field. It can be carried everywhere and used anywhere. It\u2019s reusable, biocompatible, radiolucent and latex-free. It covers injuries over or under protective bandages.<\/p>\n
So, how does it work? The USplint\u2122 heats in water, on a non-stick surface or in an MRE bag to 140F in about one to two minutes. When heated, it becomes transparent and pliable which means it\u2019s ready to be formed and applied. Next, it takes about one minute for the shield to set at which point it returns to its original opaque and rigid state. It\u2019s self-securing and conforms to nearly any injury.<\/p>\n
Product pieces can be heated together to cover larger areas and newly heated material can be added to set material to offer more strength or protection. It\u2019s also lightweight and low cost.<\/p>\n
Kate Liddle, partner at MakeItMarket, says, \u201cHere\u2019s a general injury shield that offers a fast and easy way to create a custom protective device in five minutes in virtually any situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nBroken tooth? Jammed finger? Injured pet? Fractured wrist? The USplint\u2122 ensures that no further damage will occur to a wound and provides peace of mind. It\u2019s available in multiple sizes and shapes, and comes ready to add to professional first aid kits right away. And, if an x-ray is required, it can be performed without removal.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not just an upgrade to first-aid kits, it\u2019s a must-have,\u201d Liddle says.<\/p>\n
It helps practitioners do more with less and helps patients with compliance.<\/p>\n
