Children living with neurological disorders oftentimes experience acute spasticity that can lead to abnormal hand flexion. With traditional hand splints, patients and therapists find that the rigid material doesn't allow the fingers to naturally flex and extend, leading the fingers to curl underneath themselves. This increases the risk of joint damage and can lead to long-lasting pain, inadequate palmar arch support, and costly splint replacements.
With SaeboStretch technology, the Pediatric SaeboStrech Hand Splint is able to support contractures and spastic hands with malleable, energy-storing plates. The plates are able to bend and flex with the fingers during spasticity and then gradually reposition the fingers back to their desired state. Enhancing comfort and compatibility, the wrist and thumb supports are easily bendable to accommodate each and every patient. Saebo also offers three interchangeable hand plates to support different levels of spasticity for a personalized fit.
To hold the fingers in place are durable straps that have been anatomically placed for maximum control. The straps are sewn onto the breathable, washable cover, eliminating the risk of losing them and offering patients the opportunity to don the splint. With a unique blend of firm and versatile support, this splint can be used as a preventive measure for those who have suffered from a stroke, spinal cord injury, or neurological trauma. Gradually, therapists and their clients will notice pain alleviation and an increased likelihood of motor function.
