INDICATIONS

• Post-traumatic or post-operative irritation, e. g. following treatment with a plaster cast in the case of scaphoid fractures
• Pre-operative care
• Tenosynovitis at the radial side (moderate)
• Osteoarthritis of the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb (severe)
• Sprains / contusions
• Carpal tunnel syndrome (moderate)
• Collateral ligament injuries, e.g. skier‘s thumb

 

BENEFITS AND MODES OF ACTION

• The orthosis prevents incorrect movements of the proximal and distal parts of the wrist as well as of the metacarpophalangeal and carpometacarpal joints of the thumb
• Limitation of rotational movements in the wrist thanks to the orthosis‘ longer lever
• Immobilisation of the wrist thanks to shapeable aluminum stays
• Stabilisation of the wrist in a functional position thanks to anatomically shaped metacarpal stay
• Practical Velcro fastenings and retraction stops on the straps make it easy for the patient to put on the orthosis using only one hand
• Edges finished using ultrasonic welding for increased durability and an improved look; sensitive skin in the elbow area is softly cushioned /enclosed

 

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

• The metacarpal stay with ventilation slots, the stays at the sides and the frame made of aluminum are individually shapeable
• Over the course of the treatment, the thumb can be increasingly allowed movement and the thumb brace can eventually be removed completely
