Wrist Orthosis with removable thumb fixation

• Color: silver/black

Mode of Action

• the orthosis fixates wrist, thumb basal joint and carpometacarpal joint in a neutral function position; causing the extension muscle of the forearm to relax and relieving the ligament base  of the elbow
• the mobility of the distal phalanx of the finger is maintained (e.g. for writing)
• adjustable dorsal and volar support for stabilisation of wrist and metacarpus
• with its elastic insert, the wrist orthosis can be opened wide and therefore makes donning easier
• belts with return protection simplify donning with one hand
• flexible aluminium frame for adjustable thumb fixation
• hook- and loop strap connection of thumb fixation with the hand orthosis provides individual position of the thumb fixation
• during ongoing therapy, the thumb fixation may be completely removed; which increases the mobility of the thumb basal joint

Indication

• post surgical or post traumatic irritation of the wrist and thumb basal- and carpometacarpal joint
• severe rhizarthritis
• degenerative conditions of wrist and thumb
• severe cases of tendovaginitis and carpal tunnel syndrome; as well as distortion

Contraindication

• material interactions/allergies
• do not wear directly on injured, irritated or damaged skin
• circulatory or lymphatic disorders
• sensory discomfort
