INDICATION

Recommended for fixation of the PIP and DIP joints following injuries, stress and strain, ligament injuries and certain fractures or in case of degenerative states/arthritis (also rheumatoid arthritis, gout, autoimmune diseases) or as part of post surgical rehabilitation in certain cases.

The malleable Chrisofix® long finger splint fixates the finger in an appropriate and desirable position – if this differs from the above described anatomical (0° or straight) position, while thanks to its innovative design it also ensures stability, comfort and precise fitting.

Application and adjusting

The ready to adjust Chrisofix® splints/orthoses have to be adjusted directly on the injured/diseased body part. The rough adjustment (bending) has to be performed on a non-injured finger. Fine adjustments, re-adjustments (e.g. after soft tissue swelling is reduced) can be made without removing the splint/orthosis.

The finger to be splinted must be placed into the splint/orthosis. The latter must be carefully adjusted to the finger with gentle pressure. The splints/orthoses can be fixed with the supplied velcro fasteners. Frequent bending and stretching of the splint/orthosis can damage its stability; these must be restricted to the necessary minimum.
