Indications and recommendations:

The rigid thumb and forearm orthosis by Orthoteh is a medical device intended for immobilization and stabilization of the thumb, wrist, and adjacent part of the forearm. It provides a high level of stabilization thanks to the use of two metal and one polymer insert, as well as the anatomically contoured structure, which can be individually adjusted to the shape of the hand by a specialist. The orthosis is especially recommended for De Quervain’s syndrome, tendon sheath inflammation, deformities of the wrist and thumb, as well as during rehabilitation after fractures of the first ray, ulna, or radius. It effectively restricts thumb mobility, protecting it from overstrain and further injury. The product should be used according to the recommendations of a doctor or physiotherapist.

Package contents:

Instructions for use:

Put on the orthosis so that the fingers remain free. Place the thumb in the designated part of the orthosis and fasten the short strap. Next, loop and tighten the longer strap through the buckle around the thumb. Secure the wide strap around the wrist, threading it through the buckle. Finally, fasten the longest strap below the elbow. Adjustment of the inserts should be performed by a medical specialist.

Cleaning and maintenance:

Before washing, fasten all Velcro elements to prevent damage. The orthosis should be hand-washed at temperatures up to 30°C, without bleach. Dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Do not use a tumble dryer. Gentle cleaning without twisting the material will extend the product’s durability.
