External physical injuries are a common thing of the past, present and will be for the foreseeable future. These injuries can happen to anyone at any given point of time and can leave some people in a state of inactivity for several months on end. The current trend of recovery is to isolate and immobilize the injured body part while recovery takes place, followed by external treatment via physiotherapeutic methods after an initial recovery. However, at a point in the recovery process, there will come a time when there must be heat treatment (both hot and cold) is used to aid in recovery of the wound as it improves the blood flow to the injured body part – this is where the multi-purpose cast (or splint) would come into the picture. The purpose of the multi-purpose cast is that it will be designed to minimize the work put into the recovery process while constantly providing immobilization, compression, heat treatment and airflow, simultaneously, to the injured body part from the earliest stages of injury, which can potentially reduce time taken to recover from an injury.
