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, readjust–ments (e.g. after soft tissue swelling is reduced) can be made without removing the orthosis.
The orthosis is delivered in a ready to use form with the most frequently applied angle of 90°.
Place the arm with the ulnar side into the orthosis.
Adjust the orthosis carefully to the arm and hand.
Fasten the orthosis with the bandages; the blocking of pronation and supination can be ensured only by closing the stiffened strap (stabilizing bandage, delivered with the orthosis) between the thumb and index finger.
