Comfy Pediatric OPH Opposition Thumb Hand Orthosis

The Opposition Thumb Hand is a new hand splint that provides an adjustable “C” bar support to hold the thumb in opposition. The OPH differs from the Hand Thumb Orthosis (Comfy TA) by providing a completely adjustable enclosure of the thumb to position MCP (metacarpophalangeal) joints (knuckles), PIP (proximal interphalangeal) joints and DIP (distal interphalangeal) joints (right behind the thumbnail) of the thumb. Provides gradual extension of the wrist-hand-finger or thumb deformity. Custom fit easily attained without tools or heat. Arm, wrist, finger and thumb are independently adjustable. Wings on sides prevent ulnar/radial deviation. Optional finger separator (FS-1) can be positioned as desired to prevent pressure areas between joints of fingers.
