Frequently asked questions
Can this brace be customized for my anatomy?
Yes, the FastForm SAMO features proprietary PolyTrexX polymer technology. This material allows the brace to be trimmed and stretched for a precise, anatomical fit, and it can even be re-molded throughout your recovery process as your needs change.
Is the material comfortable for long-term wear?
The interior is lined with DermaWick, a specialized material designed to wick moisture away from the skin. This helps significantly reduce itch and odor, ensuring you stay comfortable even during extended periods of immobilization.
Can I shower or swim while wearing this?
Absolutely. The FastForm SAMO is fully submersible, allowing you to bathe and swim without removing the brace. Its durable, water-resistant construction is designed to maintain its integrity in wet conditions.
How does this brace handle swelling during healing?
The brace utilizes a volumetric, adjustable strap system. This allows you to easily loosen or tighten the fit to accommodate changes in your limb size caused by either inflammation or muscle atrophy during the rehabilitation phase.
Do I need to remove it for X-rays?
No, the PolyTrexX material is designed to be X-ray translucent. This means you do not need to remove the brace for clinical imaging, simplifying your follow-up appointments.
Is it easy to remove this brace at home?
While the brace is designed to be user-friendly for adjustments, it features a compliance lock strap to prevent unauthorized removal. This ensures that the orthosis stays securely in place to provide the necessary support for your injury.
Is this brace suitable for post-operative recovery?
Yes, the SAMO is an excellent alternative to traditional casting for various clinical needs, including: <ul><li>Fractures</li><li>Sprains and strains</li><li>Tendonitis</li><li>Post-operative support</li></ul>
How can I ensure this size fits my arm?
This Medium/Large variant is designed to accommodate specific measurements: <ul><li>Wrist Circumference: 7 to 8-1/2 inches</li><li>Forearm Circumference: 8-1/2 to 15-1/2 inches</li></ul> Please measure your arm to ensure these ranges provide the best fit for your recovery.
Does this require a cast saw to take off?
Not at all. Unlike traditional fiberglass or plaster casts, the FastForm SAMO is designed to be removed without moving the injured arm, completely eliminating the need for a noisy or intimidating cast saw.
Can the brace be used for rehabilitation exercises?
Yes, the brace features an integrated hinge that allows it to convert from an immobilization device into a functional rehabilitation splint, assisting you as you transition through the different stages of your recovery.
