Indications: SaeboStretch is appropriate for patients with minimum-to-moderate tone and soft tissue shortening. It is NOT appropriate for patients with severe tone and contractures. Using a static splint on a dynamic hand can result in joint deformities, contractures and hypermobility. Sizing instructions: measure across the proximal phalanges of digits 2 to 5 just proximal to the PIP joints. Please make sure the fingers are in the adducted position. Do not wrap the tape down the lateral or medial side of the hand. Consider the length of the fingers when deciding between two different sizes (i.e. shorter fingers = smaller size). NOTE: Product must be fitted by a therapist or orthotist.
Upgraded straps consist of comfortable elastic nonslip material, and they are sewn to the cover to maximize proper positioning and ease of donning. The new cover features a zipper closure that can easily be removed for cleaning and changing of hand plates. Non-slip gel on the hand and thumb minimizes migration. The new thumb system offers two adjustments (palmar abduction/adduction and radial abduction/adduction) to further customize the thumb position. The small hex screws have been replaced with standard size head cross screws (i.e. Phillips head) for improved performance. |
