Arm and Hand garments are often complex, with many elements needed to create the perfect fit. Here we outline many of the compontents that can be combined to create a custom hand and/or arm order.
Our gloves and hand products may be used to alleviate pain, restore functional movement and prevent future dysfunction. We are always working on innovating and developing our options for hand therapy so can have may options to choose from for your patients.
These garments provide unique thermal and protective properties and are especially recommended to provide support for amputations, delicate tissue and hypersensitive skin. They are sewn in a specialty thread to ensure they are durable and hard-wearing.
From a simple forearm sleeve to a full armsleeve with contractures, zips and linings, arm garments can be as basic or complex as needed to address the specific needs of the patient. On a standard armsleeve, the seam runs along the Ulnar side with edging along the distal end and silicon elastic is added to secure the proximal end.
Custom Finger stalls can be made in a fabric of your choice for compression and/or protection of individual fingers.
From the smallest glove for a one-year-old to a complex amputation garment, each order is manufactured with precision and care. We pay particular attention to ensuring we make our hand garments as accurately as possible and we enjoy the creativity and diversity that comes with working on different kinds of hands.
Soft Dorsal Splinting helps to maintain/encourage extension of fingers while allowing flexion when required. UPF Tex is used for the palmar aspect. 1mm Neoprene may be used instead on the palmar aspect for warmth and protection.
