Hand Orthosis

The ManuLoc® Rhizo long Plus from Bauerfeind AG Schweiz in Switzerland is a fully immobilizing hand orthosis designed to provide relief and promote healing for complex injuries, severe arthritis, metacarpal fractures, or Dupuytren's disease. It provides an effective alternative to a cast, immobilizing the wrist and fingers while still allowing for easy handling in everyday life.

Features of the Hand Orthosis

The ManuLoc® Rhizo long Plus offers several features that make it ideal for pre- and post-operative use, as well as for treating combination injuries of the wrist and thumb, post-traumatic conditions, and paralysis (ulnar). The wide finger pad can be molded to different positions, such as fully extended or slightly bent fingers, making it suitable for night-time use. The thumb joint can be gradually released using the Velcro strap on the thumb, and the thumb and finger pads can be completely removed when the desired therapeutic effect is achieved. Additionally, the large air pockets and pores allow the skin and wounds to breathe, so the orthosis can be put on and taken off with one hand.

Benefits of the Hand Orthosis

The ManuLoc® Rhizo long Plus hand orthosis helps reduce pain and allows for early rehabilitation exercises to help the wrist and fingers become pain-free and mobile again. By immobilizing the entire hand, including all the fingers, after an injury, operation, or overuse, it can prevent further damage and speed up the healing process. Furthermore, its ease of use makes it a great alternative to a cast, as it can be put on and taken off quickly and easily.

How to Use the Hand Orthosis

The ManuLoc® Rhizo long Plus is recommended for use with an arm length of 21 centimeters measured from the wrist. To ensure optimal performance, it should be washed separately with a mild detergent at a maximum temperature of 30°C (hand warm) by hand. The Velcro closures should be closed before washing to maintain functionality and prevent damage. Additionally, it should not be exposed to direct heat when drying (e.g. heating, sunlight, etc.). In conclusion, the ManuLoc® Rhizo long Plus hand orthosis from Bauerfeind AG Schweiz in Switzerland is a fully immobilizing device designed to provide relief and promote healing for complex injuries, severe arthritis, metacarpal fractures, or Dupuytren's disease. With features such as removable thumb brace and finger pad, adjustable velcro straps, and air pockets and pores for breathability, it is easy to put on and take off, providing a great alternative to a cast.
