Abstract
A fastener for bi-valve casts splints and other devices is disclosed which permits ease of use, change-ability of straps, reliability, convenience and detachability, that is, which permits repetitive attachment, removal and re-attachment. The fastener includes a base, attached to the device, a buckle universal mounted and detachably connected to the base, and a strap coupled to the buckle at one end and adapted to wrap the device and engage the buckle at its other end to secure the devices while preventing migration and rotation of the device from the original intended position.
