Plastic splints for wrist braces provide better dynamic and balance than metal splints, since they can follow the wrist motion. In the past, plastic splints have been tough to adjust to the patient. That’s why Mediroyal have designed a new plastic splint that is design protected. It’s made from Polyoximetylene polymer, also called POM. It’s a copolymer with good dynamics, stability and toughness. It can be reshaped by using a heat gun or hot water. The split end of the splint provides more dynamics and reduces the risk for pressure when the splint is loaded in palmar flexion. The splint is available in two different lengths and two grades of stability. These two grades have been adapted to the different materials used in the Mediroyal wrists.
