Recommended for fixation of the PIP and DIP joint 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 Chrisofix® long finger splint fixates the finger PIP and DIP joints in an appropriate and desirable position – the above described anatomical (0 degree, or straight position) 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.
