MCP handbrace
The MCP handbrace is designed to support instable MCP joints. Often due to a disbalance between flexor and extensor tendons resulting in hyperextension of MCP 2-5
this brace gives good results. A good example is disbalance due to a nervus ulnaruis and medianus trauma. The MCP handbrace functions as a so called “knuckle bender”.
This brace can also be applied on only one, two or three MCP joints.
Dynamic MCP extension brace
The dynamic extension brace opens the hand by means of two RVS coil springs.
Placed lateral to the MCP joints and also offers functional support to the thumb. This brace can be used in a case of partial plexus branchialis, nervus radialis trauma and brain paralysis.
This brace can also be combined with the wrist brace.
MCP support brace
The MCP support brace realigns the distal transversal bow of the hand by giving palmair support to the instable metacarpal.
Ulnair correction brace
The ulnair correction brace is applicable when all the MCP joints deviate to ulnair
With a maximum of 20 degrees UD.
Type 1 is applicable when the deviation is small.
Type 2 when the deviation needs more corrective strength to correct the deviation.
By wearing the ulnair correction brace the fingers are realigned with metacarpals
thus improving the hand function.
By means of the moving parts within the construction, flexion (although a bit limited) remains possible.
CMC1-MP1 stabilisation brace
The CMC1-MP1 stabilisation brace supports the thumb into a functional position whilst
relieving the CMC1-MP1 joints. The range of movement ROM of CMC1-MP1 is reduced.
Flexion remains possible but overstretching is prevented. The CMC1-MP1 stabilisation brace can be adjusted to position the thumb into a functional position. With chrinical complains at the base of the thumb and MP1 joint the stabilisation brace offers an efficient solution. This brace is successfully applied by The Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and is very functional in work situations were the thumb needs extra support. If needed the brace can also prevent the IP joint from overstretching and an extension can give support to the wrist.
Type 2 can be applied when the MP1 joint has too much palmair adduction.
Wrist stabilisation brace
The wrist stabilisation brace is an active rest brace that brings the wrist in a neutral position. Some movement remains possible in a 15 degrees ROM.
Also this brace prevents ulnair deviation of the CMC joint.
As an addition the thumb can be stabilised or the brace can be combined with the dynamic MCP extension brace.
The brace is long lasting, elegant and causes no transpiration.
Thumb brace
The thumb brace offers relieve and stability to the thumb by preventing overstretching of the Mp and IP joints. The IP joint also gets bi-lateral support. Flexion remains possible and mobility is improved. By the unique construction the brace does not easily slip off.
Eternity ring
The eternity splintring shaped in the form of an eight has a double function.
It connects two fingers together (buddy) and prevents hyperextension of the ulnair positioned PIP joint. More eternity rings worn together will prevent overstretching of all the PIP joints
and holds all the fingers together whilst flexion remains.
Dynamic extension ring
The silver dynamic extension ring brings the PIP joint into extension by means of two RVS coil springs. The springs can easily be adjusted to give the needed strength whilst flexion remains possible. The splintring is applied by an isolated weakening of the extensor tendon, trauma at the central slip or to correct a flexion contracture of the PIP joint.
If necessary two fingers can be extended together.
Dynamic flexion ring
The silver dynamic flexion ring brings the PIP joint into flexion by means of two coil springs placed laterally to the PIP joint whilst extension remains possible. The springs can easily be adjusted to give the amount of pressure needed.
Dynamic MCP flexion brace
The dynamic MCP flexion brace is designed to prevent overstretching of the MCP joints, giving a light flexion. This brace can be applied by light claw position of the hand as a result from a nervus medianus and/or nervus ulnaris trauma, partial brachialis trauma, muscular dystrophy and brain damage.
Swanneck splint ring
The Swanneck splint ring prevents the hyperextension of the PIP or DIP finger joints whilst flexion remains fully possible. The mobility of the finger is restored and further overstretching is prevented. More than one splint on each hand is perfectly possible without
hindering each other. Swanneck splint rings are standard available with 3.5 mm wide pressure bands but are also available in 5 mm and 8 mm versions.
In case of severe thickening of the PIP joints involved or nodili, a hinge can be placed to make a fit possible. When overstretching occurs at both PIP and DIP joints of the same finger a combination splint is available with a hinge between the both separate Swanneck splints
so that full flexion remains possible.
Lateral support splint ring
The lateral support splint ring corrects bilateral instability together with overstretching
whilst flexion remains. This splint is applicable to PIP and DIP fingerjoints.
The support between the two loops of the basic splint is always plased opposite to the direction of the deviation. In case of instability both ways, a splint can be places on both sides.
Boutonnière splint ring.
The boutonnière splint ring can be applied by mild Boutonnière or Mallet finger deformities . Flexion of the PIP or DIP joint is restricted. The Boutonnière splint ring
holds the joint into extension.
Bridge splint ringConnection ring
The bridge splint ring can be applied for instable MCP joints in the frontal plane,
often due to ulnair deviation of digit 5. Using the stability of the finger joints next to the deviating joint involved. The bridge splint ring makes use of the stability if two stable joints and is easily adjustable. The connection splint ring works as a ”buddy strap” and holds two fingers together. The width of the band can vary (from 3/8mm) as can the alignment of the rings to follow the web space of the hand.
Pulley ring
The Pulley ring splint can be applied by trauma of the annular pulley (A2 and A4).
Damage to these pulleys gives a bow stringing of the flexor tendon causing reduction of the mobility of MCP and IP. An isolated and optimal IP-flexion is no more possible thus restricting the full function of the hand. The pulley splint ring takes over the task of the A2-A4 pulley. The unique design with the lock and hinge combined with the oval shape guaranties an optimal pressure without hindering the bloodstream.
Anti dropping finger splint
This splint ring is applicable in case of a “dropping finger”. The splint brings three fingers in line and prevents the dropping of the middle finger. When the fingers extend the dropping finger extends together with the two at each side bringing it back into mobility.
Anti trigger splint ring
The anti trigger splint ring restricts the movebility of the MCP joint lessening the excursion and so the irritation os the flexor tendon. This splint often is applid in the conservative treatment of tenosynovitis and tenovaginitis. The “triggering”of the flexor tendon in the A1/A2 pulley is prevented without restricting the movement of the other
fingers.
