Upper limb support AM-KG-AM/1RE

Elbow Rom Brace AM-KG-AM/1RE was developed to provide full stabilization of the upper limb, including elbow joint, wrist, carpus, metacarpus, phalangeal and interphalangeal area.

The Orthosis is provided with Splint Mod. 1RE- single axis, Range of Motion- regulation each 15º increments, hyperextension -15º and -30º.

The characteristics of Splint 1RE- provides full stabilization of Elbow Joint, ultra-light weight, the regulation of range of motion is obtained WITHOUT USE of any additional tools, splint safety system prevents unauthorized adjustments of the flexion and hyperextension.

Splint 1RE is made of high quality Aluminum Alloy and plastic material reinforced with Carbon Fibre. The materials composition avoids the deterioration of the splint caused by sweat and guarantees the correct functionality of the hinge.

The wrist support contains the wrap-around stabilization strap on fingers. The arm sling supplied with the brace is additionally equipped with comfortable pad on shoulder.

The wrist immobiliser is equipped with anatomically shaped palm strip provided with length regulation system.

In order to obtain the perfect adjustment and fitting on upper limb, the arm and forearm cuffs incorporate the polyethylene buckles allowing adjustment of velcro straps.

The Wrist supports is provided with Fingers Separator and Arm Sling.

Per customer request, the standard separator may be substituted for neurological separator which stabilizes each finger separately. Extra price.

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 skin-friendly material Active3D™, sling neck cover from SoftComfort™.

MATERIALS

Active3D™

Active3D™ is thermoformed fabric made of special foamed, cell-closed designed material. It reduces the pressure on the body or any abrasions made by orthopaedic stays and aluminum splints. It is fully waterproof fabric and does not absorb sweat. It’s easy to clean. Due to its features, the fabric is an excellent product for making medical orthopaedic braces and orthoses. ACTIVE 3D™ has various external self-gripping layers. Our material has special, thermoformed properties and may be shaped according to the functional goals of the final braces.

UniComfort™

UniComfort™ is an universal and very comfortable lamination using to produce of lightweight medical devices. This is 2-layered fabric consists of polyamide self-gripping layer and comfort foam. This self-gripping function allows to fit our devices precisely. There is possible to cut away the excess material of UniComfort™ for perfect fitting.

TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS

Press-slide System – Regulation of the length of splint

Press-slide system is the another technological newness in our offer that we would like to introduce to You with a great pleasure. The adjuster of the length of splint Press-slide is the element of orthopaedic braces, designed especially according to the innovative rule – MiniMax (minimum choice, maximum effect). That is why, orthopaedic devices equipped with Press-slide system may be characterized by small dimensions, very low weight and significant ergonomics of usage. What is more, the system was engineered to facilitate the extension or the shortening of the splint to the patient in the most easy and safe way. Press-slide was made of special kind of plastic strengthened by fiberglass and thanks to that solution its durability is much more noticeable than in case of aluminium. Adjustment of splints is very easy – you just need to press the special button and ajustd the splint so that it would be fully comfortable for you. To make that activity easier, on the surface of the lower limb splints we placed the centimeter scale that defines the distance between knee joint and the end of thigh splint and shin splint. Regarding upper limb braces, we placed the scale that simplifies the repeatable splint adjustment.

STIFFENINGS

Anatomically shaped hand splint

Splint 1RE

Splints 1RE – single axis orthopedic splints, used mainly in knee joint, upper limb and hip joint braces. The characteristic quality of this splint is, apart from wide range of motion adjustment in every 15 degrees, is also hyperextension adjustment in the secured range of -15 and -30 degrees. The splints are characterized by perfect lateral joint stabilization and low weight. The set-up of the angle adjustment clock doesn’t require any tools, and special safety system prevents the change of the angle by unauthorized people. The splints are made of high quality aluminium alloy and plastic with carbon fibre. They are light and neutral to the influence of sweat and salt, properly firm, assuring correct functioning of the device. The splint and its design are patented in European Union by Reh4Mat company.

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.
