SHARE

Absolute washable orthopedic Immobilizer for immobilization of thumb. FlexiOH® Thumb Spica immobilizers are designed for immobilization of thumb. It has an inbuilt soft hook and loop fastener which is very comfortable for skin contact. It is used to provide support for thumb injuries (ligament instability, sprain or muscle strain), gamekeeper’s thumb, De Quervain’s syndrome or fractures of the Scaphoid or first metacarpal. Doctors need to apply it on the patient’s hand and then cure it with the RizyCure® light device (recommended) or direct sunlight for around 3-5 minutes depending on the size of immobilizer, until it gets rigid. FlexiOH® Thumb Spica Immobilizer comes in 3 different sizes : S, M and L. All of the immobilizers vary in terms of palm circumference, wrist circumference, and thumb circumference. For the best fit of FlexiOH® Thumb Spica Immobilizer, taking the measurement of patient’s hand is necessary before application.
