    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.

INDICATIONS

  • Make sure that the temperature of the piece is not too hot for comfort or at risk of burning your patient before draping.
  • The bare plastic can feel hotter than the rest, be careful not to burn your patient.
  • Do not heat the piece over 100°C (210°F), because the fabric could burn or melt.
  • Moisture will affect the fusion efficiency. Make sure the surfaces that are going to be fused together are dry and clean.
  • If you use a heat gun, be careful not to burn the fabric.
