FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
THE PRODUCT SHOULD BE ADJUSTED BY YOUR ORTHOPAEDIC TECHNICIAN OR IN ACCORDANCE
WITH DOCTOR'S ORDERS.
In order to obtain a greater degree of therapeutic effectiveness in the different pathologies and to
prolong the life and utility of the product, it is fundamental that the correct size adequate for each
patient or user is chosen (enclosed in the packet is a diagram with all the sizes and the equivalent
in centimetres). An excess compression can produce intolerance, therefore we recommend that
the compression be regulated to an optimum degree.
To fit observe the following aspects:
Positioning palmar splint M760/660:
The malleable aluminium palmar splint enables you to vary palmar/dorsal wrist flexion.
1- Loosen the fastening straps to open the aperture as wide as possible.
2- Insert your hand and slide your thumb through the thumb opening (ambidextrous).
3- Tighten the arm strap and fasten with the hook.
4- Place the wrist strap in the desired position and then tighten the double strap to achieve the
required compression of the wrist and hand.
5- Finally, close the two palmar straps, adjusting for tension and direction.
Thumb splint fitting M780/M680:
1- The orthosis features a separate thumb immobiliser.
2- To fit, pass the aluminium stay through the slots on the dorsal support. Then fasten the palmar
stay with the hook.
3- Finally, fit the loop to the thumb and adjust by means of the malleable aluminium.
Positioning universal wrist guard M700/M600:
1- Loosen the securement strap, allowing the maximum opening of the wrist guard, then introduce
the hand and place it at the height of the wrist. Tighten the adjustment strap until the required
securement is achieved. Finally fasten the strap using the micro-fastener system.
2- The strap allows for adaptation, completely covering the wrist or, where appropriate, by remo-
ving the excess for a single fastener.
