Hand Double Chamber Air Splint

The Urias Inflatable Pressure Hand and Wrist Splint is designed to provide therapeutic, even pressure on the fingers and wrist, making it ideal for neurological rehabilitation. Constructed from a double layer of washable PVC sheeting, the splint features a plastic zipper closure and is transparent to facilitate positioning. When applied and inflated, the soft inner layer molds exactly to the fingers and wrist, delivering circumferential, even pressure.

Key Features

Double Air Chamber Design: Allows for variable levels of pressure in two separate, individually inflated chambers, enabling targeted management of extensor or flexor tone.

Therapeutic Benefits:

• Counters abnormal tone development following brain injuries such as trauma or stroke.
• Inhibits spasticity and assists movement patterns.
• Expedites weight bearing and reduces edema.
• Encourages sensory recovery by stimulating proprioceptors.
• Contracture Management: Helps inhibit the development of contractures in neurological disorders. For existing contractures, the splint can be used to stretch and position the limb, gradually reducing deformity.
• User-Friendly Design: Easy to fit and can be used by physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses, carers, and patients at home. Acts as an extra pair of hands in neuro rehabilitation.

Material and Safety:

• Made of durable, washable PVC sheeting.
• Latex-free, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
• Inflation pressure should not exceed 40mmHg to ensure safety.

Usage Guidelines

The splint should be applied to the patient's hand and wrist and then inflated. During inflation, the soft inner layer molds to the limb, providing even pressure. Inflation can be achieved orally using a personal/disposable mouthpiece and filter or with a hand pump equipped with a safety valve.
