splint
의미: A rigid or flexible device used to immobilise and support an injured body part, particularly a fractured or sprained limb, to promote healing and prevent further damage.
Splints are among the oldest medical devices, and the term appears across emergency medicine, first aid training, orthopaedics, and veterinary science. Unlike a cast, which is moulded to fit, a splint is typically a pre-formed or improvised rigid support. The verb 'to splint' means to apply such a device. In figurative usage, splint occasionally appears to mean a temporary or makeshift support — 'a policy splint to hold the economy together' — though this is uncommon.
