Please ensure when fitting the brace that the hand/thumb
position is at an angle of 45° (see diagram).

Fitting instructions

• Open all hook and loop fasteners and slip the orthosis
onto your hand (a).
• First close the hook and loop fastener at the thumb (b),
then the pressure point on the palm(c), and finally tighten
the wrist strap and secure (d). If the strap is too long, the
fastener may be removed and the strap trimmed with a
pair of scissors.
• Please note: do not fasten the hook and loop at the thumb
too tightly. If you experience pressure pains loosen the
fastener. Consult your orthopaedic technician or doctor
should pain continue.
• If you feel pressure pains on the back of your hand please
attach the enclosed hook and loop pad to the strap (e).

minium splint below the thumb strap opening, then pass
the strap around the thumb and fasten.
