Static Hand Splint with Fingers | جبيرة تثبيت اليد والاصابع

The Static Resting Hand Orthosis is a specialized medical device engineered to position the hand in a therapeutic resting state. It is designed to maintain the wrist in approximately 30° of dorsiflexion while supporting the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and interphalangeal (IP) joints in slight flexion. This orthosis is primarily indicated for the management of deformities associated with rheumatoid arthritis and for the effective prevention of joint contractures in the wrist and fingers.

Why to Use:  This orthosis provides precise, non-flexible positioning, which is critical for the management of complex inflammatory and neurological hand conditions:

• Maintains Functional Resting Position: By holding the wrist in 30° of dorsiflexion and the fingers in slight flexion, the orthosis places the hand in an optimal “position of function.” This reduces stress on inflamed joints, alleviates pain, and helps preserve muscle length.
• Management of Arthritic Deformity: It is a primary tool used to prevent or manage the progression of joint deformities (such as ulnar drift) common in rheumatoid arthritis by maintaining proper, stable joint alignment.
• Effective Contracture Prevention: Crucially prevents the development of joint contractures (fixed stiffness) in the wrist and fingers that can result from spasticity, paralysis, prolonged immobilization, or severe inflammation.
• Alleviation of Pain and Joint Stress: The complete immobilization and supportive positioning significantly reduce pain and discomfort by minimizing stress on inflamed joints and soft tissues.

Indications for Use:

• Management and prevention of deformities associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
• Prevention of contractures following neurological events (e.g., stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury).
• Post-operative positioning to maintain surgical corrections.
• Immobilization for severe wrist and hand inflammation or trauma.
• Support for flaccid paralysis to prevent overstretching of muscles.

How to Use:

1. Unfasten all straps. Gently place the patient’s hand and forearm into the pre-shaped orthosis.
2. Ensure the wrist is correctly seated at the 30° dorsiflexion angle and that each finger and the thumb are resting comfortably in their designated channels.
3. Sequentially fasten the straps, starting with those on the forearm and moving towards the hand, to secure the orthosis.
4. Adjust the tension to achieve a snug, secure fit that eliminates movement but does not impede circulation or create pressure points.

Key Features:

• Therapeutic 30° Wrist Dorsiflexion: The pre-shaped shell is fixed in the optimal functional position for wrist and hand recovery and rest.
• Individual Finger and Thumb Troughs: Features anatomically contoured supports for each digit to maintain proper alignment and prevent flexion contractures.
• Rigid Thermoplastic Shell: The main body is constructed from a durable, rigid material that can be custom-fitted by a professional if needed.
• Multi-Point Strapping System: Equipped with several soft, adjustable straps to ensure a secure, customized fit and prevent the orthosis from migrating.
• Removable Padded Liner: Lined with a soft, breathable foam liner that can be removed for cleaning, enhancing patient comfort and hygiene.
• Made in Turkey.

How to Care:

1. The removable foam liner can be detached from the rigid shell.
2. Hand wash the liner in cool water using a mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and lay it flat to air dry completely.
3. The rigid thermoplastic shell can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap or a hospital-grade disinfectant.
4. Ensure both components are fully dry before reassembling. Do not expose the orthosis to high heat sources.

Material Composition:

• Shell: Medical-grade, rigid Thermoplastic (e.g., Polyethylene), pre-shaped for anatomical correctness.
• Lining: Soft, hypoallergenic, and breathable laminated foam liner.
• Strapping System: Durable nylon straps with industrial-strength hook-and-loop (Velcro) closures
