Turtlebrace Finger/Thumb Add-ons

An auto-fusing finger extension that can be applied on the popular Turtlebrace wrist or the Harebrace wrist.
Its unique design permits the immobilization for:

The great flexibility of the components stabilizes the fingers more easily and with more precision than a traditional brace or cast.
It can be reshaped many times, without losing its qualities, allowing adjustment according to morphological changes or a specific protocol.

• Can be cut to fit your needs.
• Antibacterial fabric
• Radio-transparent
• Submersible and auto-draining
• Re-moldable without limits nor degradation

THREE SIMPLE STEPS

1. Heat the brace in an oven between 67 °C and 85 °C (152°F and 185°F), or in the Turtlebrace heating bag until it becomes soft and elastic.
   Do not use water or water vapor to heat the piece. Moisture will affect the fusion to the brace.
2. Once the piece has become soft and elastic, you can place the piece according to the need:
   Boxer fracture
   Slide the piece in between the 3rd and 4th fingers
   Press the bare plastic on a dry brace, to fuse the piece to the brace.
   Stretch to piece to cover the 4th and 5th fingers
   Cut the excess material and place the fingers in the proper position.
   Ulnar fracture
   Slide the piece in between the 3rd and 4th fingers
   Press the bare plastic on a dry brace, to fuse the piece to the brace.
   Stretch to piece to cover the 2th and 3th fingers
   Cut the excess material and place the fingers in the proper position.
   Palmar fracture
   Press a corner bare plastic to one side of a dry brace.
   Stretch to piece to cover the sides and the bottom of all fingers.
   Press the bear plastic on the dry brace, to fuse the piece to the brace
   cut the excess material and place the fingers in the proper position.
3. When your patient’s fingers are in the desired position, wait for the piece to harden.
