Indications
1.Fractures and dislocations: It is suitable for fixation after reduction of fractures such as phalangeal fractures, wrist fractures, ankle fractures, patellar fractures, etc., as well as after reduction of joint dislocations.
2.Soft tissue injuries: It is applicable for fixation after surgical treatment of soft tissue injuries such as ligament injuries of joints, nerve and tendon injuries, such as Achilles tendon injuries, brachial plexus nerve injuries, etc.
3.Orthopedic surgeries: It can be used for fixation after orthopedic surgeries for joint deformities, nerve palsies, and tendon injuries, such as fixation after scoliosis surgery.
4.Inflammation: It is suitable for fixation in cases of acute and chronic joint inflammation and acute inflammation of limb soft tissues, such as joint fixation for patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
5.Others: It can also be used for rehabilitation assistance in patients with hemiplegia and cerebral palsy, such as making knee-ankle braces and foot supports for children with cerebral palsy.
Functional features
1.Good plasticity: After being heated in hot water at 60-70℃, it becomes transparent and soft, allowing for easy stretching and shaping according to the patient's limb shape. The operation is simple and quick, and it can precisely fit the patient's body curves.
2.Shape memory function: If the shaping is not satisfactory, it can be re-softened by placing it in hot water at 60-70℃. The material will return to its original size and shape, allowing for reshaping and reuse.
3.Breathability and water resistance: The board has numerous mesh holes, which increase skin ventilation, heat dissipation, and sweat evaporation, preventing skin redness, swelling, and itching. It is also water-resistant, making it easy to clean.
4.Lightweight and high strength: The thickness is generally 1.6-4.0mm, making it lightweight and convenient for patient movement. It has strong toughness and is not easily damaged or broken, ensuring safe and reliable use.
5.Good X-ray permeability: Patients can undergo X-ray examinations with the board on, which does not affect the imaging results, facilitating doctors' observation of the patient's healing progress.
6.Adhesive function: During the thermoplastic forming process, the surface or cross-sections of the product can be bonded at will, allowing doctors to shape the orthosis as a whole and add accessories during the manufacturing process.
