The Finger Contraction Bands are used for patients with severe hand contractions. The band is very thin to enable it to slide between the fingers and palm. It may help prevent fingernails from growing into the palm of the hand.
Key Features
- Designed for patients with severe hand contractions.
- Thin band allows easy sliding between fingers and palm.
- Helps prevent fingernails from growing into the palm.
Additional Information
To fit, place the band on the patient's right hand with the palm facing up. When looking at the band with the furry side up, ensure the long and short arms with the Hook & Loop Tape sewn on the underside point to the right. The longer arm should be at the bottom, wound around the wrist, while the short arm without Hook & Loop Tape faces to the left. The patient's thumb should go into the band between the long and short section with the Hook & Loop Tape on.
The main part of the band slides between the fingernails and the palm. The short part without the Hook & Loop Tape goes around the back of the fingers, while the other short part with Hook & Loop Tape attaches around the front. The long part can then be wound around the wrist, fastening the Hook & Loop Tape section to the palm.
The left hand is fitted in the same manner, but in reverse. Ensure the fitted main palm section of each of the Finger Contraction Bands is correctly positioned under the fingernails. For some patients, a Hand Contraction Pad may be more suitable.
