Wrist Orthosis with removable thumb fixation

Intended use

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
