Frequently asked questions
Does this help with severe hand contractures?
Yes, this orthosis is specifically engineered to gradually reduce severe hand contractures. By starting in a deflated state, it allows for a gentle, incremental expansion that stretches contracted tissues over time with minimal resistance.
Is it comfortable for patients in pain?
Absolutely. It is designed with patient comfort as a priority. The cone features a soft, velvety bacteriostatic cloth cover that is non-irritating and helps reduce anxiety, making it much more tolerable than traditional, rigid splints.
How do you insert it into a tight hand?
The kit includes a placement wand that allows for easy insertion into severely contracted hands while the device is in its deflated, slim state. Once it is positioned comfortably, you can then gradually inflate it.
Can I adjust the pressure?
Yes, because the device is inflatable, you have full control over the level of expansion. You can customize the pressure to suit the specific stage of the contracture, ensuring a gentle and manageable stretch.
Should a therapist help me use this?
While it is suitable for home-based rehabilitation, we strongly recommend using this device under the guidance of a healthcare professional. They can ensure that the inflation levels are appropriate for your specific condition and progress.
Will the material irritate sensitive skin?
The device is specifically finished with a soft-touch, velvety cover designed to be gentle against the skin. It is an ideal choice for patients who experience skin sensitivity or pain during splint application.
Is the fabric easy to keep clean?
Yes, the orthosis is covered in a bacteriostatic fabric. This material is specifically chosen to help maintain a clean and hygienic environment during ongoing therapeutic use.
What is included in the kit?
The package includes:
- The inflatable carrot orthosis
- A specialized placement wand
Is this suitable for home use?
Yes, it is designed for both clinical settings and home-based rehabilitation programs. Its simple, user-friendly design makes it accessible for ongoing therapy outside of a medical facility, provided it is used as directed by your clinician.
How does the cone shape help?
The carrot-like conical shape is ergonomically designed to fit naturally within the palm and between the fingers. This allows the device to provide sustained pressure exactly where it is needed most to help open the hand.
