Who is my bracelet named after?

HUGH OWEN THOMAS (1834 – 1891)
Thomas splint: saviour of life and limb

Hugh Owen Thomas was an orthopaedic (bone) surgeon who came from a family of bone setters. He combined the secrets and traditions of this, often brutal, practice with his medical knowledge to develop new treatments and devices. His most famous invention was the ‘Thomas splint’. It wasn’t until twenty-five years after his death that his splint became widely used, saving thousands of limbs and lives of soldiers in the first world war.  At the beginning of the war, most soldiers with broken femurs (thigh bones) died. After the Thomas splint was introduced in 1916, over 80% of soldiers survived this injury.
