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 finger. Fine adjustments, readjustments (e.g. after soft tissue swelling is reduced) can be made without removing the orthosis.
Put the palm side of the hand and the finger to be splinted into the preshaped orthosis.
Fix the orthosis around the back of hand with the strap.
With gentle pressure, carefully shape the finger part of the orthosis to the finger, and fi x it with the small velcro strap/s.
If necessary, you can bend the orthosis into the required position.
