Fitting instructions
Please observe that the correction options provided for the SellaFix thumb
brace should be made by expert staff. The thumb brace is manufactured from
thermoplastic material which can be shaped as desired via targeted heating to
60°C, e.g. with a hot air dryer or in a water bath. Moreover, desired changes
to the shape in the edge area can be made using a pair of scissors.
Once the SellaFix has been shaped as desired, slip the brace over the wrist
and position the thumb in the thumb tube. Now, close the circumferential
fastener on the wrist, which can be adjusted steplessly using the Velcro
fastener. The padding strip is self-adhesive and can be freely positioned in the
edge area in case of pressure sores.
Removal
To remove the brace, please open the circumferential strap and slide the
brace off.
