Instructions to use Comfy Hand Air Orthosis

1. Perform Passive Range of motion (PROM) to allow for maximal wrist and finger extension.
2. Bend splint at wrist to the desired degree of extension. Do not remove insert from fabric cover, as all position can be done while the insert is in the cover. Place hand on splint, with fingers around the inflatable hand roll, thumb wrapped around under the hand roll.
3. Place clear part of inflation bulb into clear valve at end of the inflatable hand roll. Squeeze the inflation bulb to inflate hand roll to achieve the desired degrees of finger extension.
4. Once the desired angulations of the wrist and fingers are achieved, wrap the straps around the hand, wrist and forearm and secure with hook and loop tape. The strap across the fingers is bifurcated to go above and below the end of the hand roll to provide a more secure hold of the splint.
5. To deflate the hand roll, simply place the black side of the inflation bulb into the clear valve of the hand rolls and squeeze the inflation bulb. This will remove the air from the hand roll.
6. Check the ComfySplints™ Hand Air Orthosis every two hours for pressure areas, edema or skin irritation. If signs of redness, increased swelling or pain appear discontinue use and notify physician.
