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, read–justments (e.g. after soft tissue swelling is reduced) can be made without removing the orthosis.
Place the forearm with the radial side into the ready to use orthosis.
Adjust the orthosis to the hand and wrist kept in physiological position.
Fasten the orthosis with the bandages.
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.
