FingerPress Static Progressive Finger Straightening Splint Orthosis for Extension of PIP Flexion Contracture X-Small

The FingerPress is a static-progressive orthosis designed to increase the extension range of the middle joint of a finger with a PIP Flexion Contracture. The finger is held with the PIP joint extended to the end of its range. A stretching force of up to several pounds may help to restore the range of motion by gradually stretching the affected tissues.

Details:

The FingerPress is a patent pending orthosis designed by a patient who used it to treat a bent finger, also known as PIP Flexion Contracture.

Indications:

Used to straighten stiffly bent finger joints caused by injury, surgery, immobilization, overuse, rock climbing, trigger finger, arthritis.

Instructions:

We recommend working with a hand therapist who can guide you on how often you'll need to wear the FingerPress in order to correct your current condition. The device can be fitted with custom-made pads using a two-part elastomer putty.

1. Hold the device with the unaffected hand

2. Pull the slide all the way back until it swings down

3. Insert the affected finger with end of the finger pressing through the pad into the curved end of the slide

4. The bent PIP joint should rest between the upper pads

5. Press the slide forward to apply pressure and set the ratchet at maximum extension

6. Monitor fingertip and reset pressure if circulation or sensation is lost

7. The ratchet can be freed by squeezing or tapping the end
