Application and adjusting
The ready to adjust Chrisofix® orthoses have to be adjusted directly on the injured/diseased body part. The rough adjustment (bending) has to be performed on a non-injured limb of similar size. Fine adjustments, readjustments (e.g. after soft tissue swelling is reduced) can be made without removing the orthosis.
• Put the forearm with the ulnar side into the ready to use orthosis.
• Adjust the orthosis to the wrist and forearm with a gentle pressure.
• Fix the wrist into the required position.
• Fasten the bandages between the thumb and index finger, on the wrist and forearm.
To remove the orthosis, it is not necessary to open the strap on back of the hand; the hand can simply be pulled out from and later shifted back into the fixation. Frequent bending and stretching of the orthosis can damage its stability; these must be restricted to the necessary minimum.
