"The belt is made of strong webbing, having pockets on each side, to receive the long splint. It is also furnished with straps and buckles. The perineal strap, corresponding to the injured side, is kept constantly buckled, while the other may be occasionally loosened, or left off, as its purpose only to steady the apparatus. Where the straps pass under the perineum, they are covered with wash-leather. Before applying the belt, a pillowcase or two may be passed around the waist. The padlock is only to be used in case the patient persists in unbuckling the straps. The splints being applied, with also short side splints, junks, containing bran or sand, &c., are to be secured more firmly to the limb by bands of webbing and buckles. In using the adhesive strap extension, care should be taken to protect the ankles underneath the straps."-L. M. S., Jr. See New Eng. Journ. of Med. and Surg., vol. x. p. 38; also Boston Med. and Surg. Journ., vol. xxv. p. 223.
