Thermal splints are amazing - until the car dashboard or sunny windowsill turns them into a soft, slightly wobbly version of what you left home with.

Pro tip:
• Don’t leave your splint in a hot car
• Avoid direct sun/heat sources
• If it feels softer or misshapen, let us know - it may need a quick remould

Because rehab is hard enough… your splint shouldn’t also be melting.

Is it just a sore hand… or something you shouldn’t ignore?

Many common hand problems start small, but early treatment can prevent long-term pain, stiffness or weakness.

A good rule of thumb:
If your hand problem is not improving, keeps coming back, or is affecting daily tasks - it’s time for an assessment.

Early treatment is usually simpler, faster and more effective than waiting. ✨

Three mistakes that slow down hand recovery:

1. Pushing through pain

Movement is essential for recovery - but sharp or stabbing pain is a warning sign, not a goal.
Forcing movement through significant pain can irritate tissues and delay healing.
👉 Aim for controlled, tolerable discomfort - not pain that makes you tense or pull away.

2. Completely avoiding your injured hand

Rest matters, but total avoidance can lead to muscle loss, stiffness and joint contractures.
Guided, gentle use helps restore movement and function safely.
👉 Think “protect and use,” not “protect and freeze.”

3. Skipping your home programme

Hand injuries are especially prone to stiffness and weakness.
Small, consistent daily exercises make a bigger difference than occasional effort.
👉 Your therapy sessions guide recovery, but your home programme drives it.

Ever wondered how silicone therapy helps with scars?
It all boils down to locking in moisture.

💡 FAQ:
Q: Can I use normal silicone on my scar?
A: Only medical-grade silicone is safe and effective for the body.

That’s why we trust Scarban - designed specifically for scar care.

For two years, rheumatoid arthritis made her left hand too unstable to use.

Today, this anti-ulnar drift orthosis (made with Orficast from Orfit Industries) brings her MP joints back into alignment - giving her the support, stability and confidence to engage in everyday tasks again.

Function restored. Hope renewed. 🤝

We spent the weekend at the South African Burn Society Conference in Pretoria, connecting with the incredible multidisciplinary teams driving burn care forward in South Africa.

From thought-provoking sessions and international insights to a vibrant exhibition floor, the congress created the perfect space for sharing innovation, strengthening collaboration and learning from the experts shaping the future of burn treatment.

Grateful to be part of a community committed to better outcomes, better care and continuous improvement. 🔥✨
