Product Description
Finger add-ons are a new simpler way to build a specific immobilization. The add-ons are design to fuse directly to the wrist brace, no need for glue or special preparation. The fingers design permits you to do all type of support ranging from thumb spica to full hand, even boxer fracture support.

- Antibacterial fabric
- Radiolucent

THREE SIMPLE STEPS
- Heat the brace in an oven or hot water pan, between 67 °C and 85 °C (152°F and 185°F), until it becomes soft and elastic. Dry heat method Put the brace in either the Turtlebrace heating bag, a regular or convection oven, for 5 to 10 minutes. It can take longer, 20-30 minutes for some ovens. Keep checking until the brace passes malleability to the point of elasticity. Hot water method - Place the brace in a hot water heating pan for about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Once the brace has become soft and elastic, you can drape the brace on the body. Make sure that the temperature of the brace is not to hot for comfort or at risk of burning your client.
- Place your client in the desired position and wait for the brace to harden.
INDICATIONS
- Stable fractures, post-op immobilization, tendinitis, serial casting, spasticity control, wrist and hand neuropathy.
- Do not heat the brace over 100°C (210°F), because the fabric or/and the zipper could burn or melt.
