Frequently asked questions

How do I choose the right finger orthosis?

The choice depends on the joint to be fixed and the rigidity needed. For injuries of the distal joint a Stax-type orthosis suits, while for fixing the whole finger a U-shaped or “baseball” orthosis is used. It is best to consult a doctor.

When is a thumb orthosis used?

A thumb orthosis is used for overload at the base of the thumb, sprains, arthrosis and after injuries, to stabilise the joint and reduce pain.
