Wrist support AM-OSN-L-06

Spastic hand is a result from the loss of inhibition of motor neurons from central nervous system (CNS). It causes excessive muscle contraction due to gentle impulse such as soft touch. Spasticity is very often a result from cerebral palsy (CP), stroke or injuries. Treatment is very difficult and based on reducing the muscle tension. Apart of pharmacology and physical therapy, the passive treatment by dynamic functional resting splint. It works by positioning the hand in the required position and stopping the progress of disease.

Product description

Dynamic functional resting splint with thumb was designed to be fully adjustable and universal – so a patient may wear it either on the left or the right hand. Thanks to that solution, the brace has begun more universal brace what is a really important factor for most of the medical shops (they can decrease their stocks volume up to 50 per cent).

With the rehabilitation, wrist and hand sections of AM-OSN-L-06 wrist splint, can be contoured by hand to progressively position the hand from a flexed position to a functional position. Thumb can be positioned from mid-range opposition to abduction. For optimal fit and comfort, forearm section is fully moldable that increases fitting and stabilization.

Optionally, the brace AM-OSN-L-06 resting splint may be use with the standard or neuro-rheumathological fingers separator. Thanks to such a construction, the device stabilizes fingers as well as wrist better. The fastening system to the upper limb is very easy – it is based on a wide spiral tape of a hand and a forearm and a thin tape that helps to stabilize a thumb. Due to the wide range of motion, it is possible to adjust the brace to the limb without any problems. Per customer request (extra price), the standard separator may be substituted for neurological separator which stabilizes each finger separately. The brace was designed in a complicated and specific way.

The frame was made of a high quality aluminium (that may be characterized by different levels of plasticity). Then, it was connected to special support rods. Later the construction was double-sided laminated with soft foam. Additionally, the brace was equipped with tacky function that makes it easy to adjust and place the tapes as well as the separator.

Our forearm brace’s advantage is its universality – it is suitable for both right as well as left hand.

The innovative character of our device is that it is possible to fully adjust it to the forearm shape without any additional devices or warmth.

In addition, for this brace you can purchase special neuro-rheumathological fingers separator. It provides proper position of fingers and maintains optimal abduction of the proximal phalanxes in case of neurological or rheumatological disorders. When the spasticity occurs, the separator prevents the fingers against the excessive “squeezing”. In case of Swan-Neck Deformity in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), the device construction with special fastening, correct the fingers from ulnar to neutral position. Maintaining of the optimal neutral hand position allows to stop the process of neurological or degeneration diseases.

The brace is made of waterproof fabric UniPren™.

MATERIALS

UniPren™

UniPren™ is a universal 3-layer material consisting of an external elastic polyamide cover knit with a self-adhesive function, an internal neoprene foam core and an elastic jersey cover knit. This material is characterized by softness and very high flexibility. A very important advantage of this material is the fact that it is not a knitted product, it does not have thick fibers, so that the weaves of the material do not imprint on the patient's skin and do not cause abrasionsin places of high compression. Products made of UniPren™ are the strongest and most effective stabilizing orthoses available on the market. Self-adhesive function, the raw material makes it much easier to use.

STIFFENINGS

Aluminum frame for the hand and forearm

The aluminum frame consists of a steel base and soft aluminum sheets that can be easily shaped. The frame consists of a hand part with a thumb stabilizer and a part of the forearm. The set is not painted as it is intended for installation between two layers of foam. The skeleton is delivered to the patient in a flat version and it is the doctor or physiotherapist who shapes the stabilizer to the shape of the limb by bending it properly without the use of any tools.

PADDINGS

3D supports

3D relief supports are independent technical solutions to relieve the rigid elements of a given orthosis. These elements are made of supporting foams or EVA foam. These foams are connected with various types of skin-friendly materials and materials with an adhesive function. These pads have the appropriate shape and color adapted to the type of orthosis. They relieve both metal elements of orthoses, such as splints, stays, underwires and orthopedic drop locks, as well as other elements that should not come into direct contact with the patient's skin. These pads have an anatomical shape and are made of comfortable foam with proper hardness and elasticity, guaranteeing the proper therapeutic effect.
