Dynamic Hand Splint | جبيرة حركية اصابع اليد ( نوابض )

The Dynamic Hand Splint is a specialized medical orthosis engineered to position the hand and wrist in a functional 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 device is indicated for the management of fractures, for post-cast support, and for various neurological conditions, such as peripheral nerve injuries, to prevent deformity and promote recovery.

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

• Maintains Optimal Functional Position: By holding the wrist in 30° of dorsiflexion (the “position of function”), the orthosis promotes optimal healing, helps maintain muscle length, and prepares the hand for a more effective return to activity.
• Stabilization for Fracture Healing: Provides rigid immobilization for fractures of the wrist, metacarpals, or phalanges. By maintaining stable alignment, it creates an ideal environment for bone consolidation.
• Management of Neurological Deficits: Essential for patients with peripheral nerve injuries (e.g., radial, median, ulnar nerve palsy) to protect denervated muscles, prevent gravity-induced deformities, and maintain the hand’s functional arches.
• Prevents Contractures and Deformity: Actively combats the development of joint stiffness, muscle shortening, and flexion contractures that can result from spasticity, paralysis, or prolonged immobilization in a non-functional position.
• Transitional Support Post-Casting: Serves as a critical tool after a plaster cast is removed, maintaining the corrected position of the wrist and fingers while protecting the healing structures during rehabilitation.
• Effective Pain and Edema Control: By completely immobilizing the affected area in a comfortable position, the orthosis significantly reduces pain and can help manage swelling (edema).

Indications for Use:

• Post-operative or conservative management of wrist, carpal, metacarpal, and phalangeal fractures.
• Post-cast removal for continued alignment and support.
• Peripheral nerve injuries (Radial, Median, Ulnar Nerve Palsy).
• Spasticity management following stroke (CVA) or traumatic brain injury.
• Prevention and correction of flexion contractures.
• Severe tendonitis or tenosynovitis requiring complete immobilization.
• Rheumatoid Arthritis flare-ups for joint rest and protection.

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 the fingers and thumb are resting comfortably in the designated troughs.
3. Sequentially fasten the straps, starting with those on the forearm and moving towards the hand.
4. Adjust the tension to achieve a snug, secure fit that eliminates movement but does not impede circulation or cause pressure points.

Key Features:

• Therapeutic 30° Dorsiflexion Positioning: The pre-shaped shell is fixed in the optimal functional position for wrist and hand recovery.
• Anatomical Palmar and Finger Support: Provides full support to the arches of the hand and maintains the fingers and thumb in a slightly flexed, relaxed position.
• Multi-Point Strapping System: Equipped with several adjustable straps to ensure a secure, customized fit and prevent the orthosis from migrating.
• Rigid, Lightweight Construction: Made from a durable but lightweight thermoplastic, providing robust support without unnecessary weight.
• Padded for Comfort: 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.
