A sugar-tong splint is a medical device used to stabilize and support a fractured limb or a site where orthopedic surgery has been performed. The name of this style of splint is a reference to the appearance; the sugar-tong splint grasps the involved area somewhat like a pair of tongs. This allows for support and immobilization of the area without limiting the ability to swell, reducing the risk of complications associated with wearing a splint. Medical supply catalogs carry sugar-tong splints, along with other splint designs.

According to the Skylark Medical Center's website, the sugar tong splint gained its name because of the splint's resemblance to the sugar tongs used to remove cubes of sugar from a bowl.
