Post-op and already feeling free 🙌🏼
This patient came to us immobilized past the wrist in a heavy, sweaty surgical dressing for a P2 finger fracture and left with this custom hand-based orthosis made with Orfilight 1/16” Black NS by
The difference was night and day.
Why Orfilight is our go-to for post-surgical hand and finger splinting:
Up to 30% lighter than similar materials, you immediately feel the difference
Micro-perforated for airflow and temperature regulation; a must living in Southwest Florida 🌴
Soft, foamy feel against the skin, minimizing irritation
Matte black finish resists fingerprints; easier to look pretty (which translates into patient compliance)
Non-stick coating means it won’t adhere to bandages or stockinette
Memory; making it remoldable as swelling changes
Custom orthotic fabrication is both one of the most underappreciated and underdeveloped skills in hand therapy. This hand splint is well molded to his anatomy, leaving neighboring fingers free to move and function while stabilizing and protecting exactly what needs protecting.
He left smiling. That’s the whole point of why we show up day after day 🙌🏼
