At Gilgal Medical, we are committed to providing innovative solutions that support recovery, mobility, and independence. One such essential device in our orthotic range is the Elbow / Hand Combination Orthosis with Full Hand Roll—a versatile and effective tool designed for patients requiring upper extremity support and positioning following neurological or orthopedic conditions.
What is an Elbow / Hand Combination Orthosis?
An Elbow / Hand Combination Orthosis is a prefabricated or custom-made device designed to support the elbow, wrist, and hand. It plays a critical role in positioning the limb correctly to prevent deformities, promote proper alignment, and facilitate functional recovery. This particular model features a Full Hand Roll, which helps maintain the natural curvature of the hand, reducing muscle spasticity and improving comfort.
Key Features and Benefits
1. Comprehensive Limb Support
This orthosis supports the entire arm—from the elbow to the hand—ensuring proper joint alignment and preventing contractures, particularly in post-stroke or post-surgical patients.
2. Full Hand Roll Design
The integrated Full Hand Roll is crucial for patients with spasticity or weakness. It keeps the fingers in a gently flexed, natural position, reducing the risk of pressure sores and improving muscle tone management.
3. Enhanced Comfort and Compliance
Constructed with breathable padding and lightweight materials, this orthosis maximizes comfort, making it easier for patients to wear it for extended periods. Adjustable straps ensure a secure fit, accommodating swelling and changes in muscle tone.
4. Prevents Joint Deformities
By maintaining functional positioning, this device helps prevent complications such as wrist drop, elbow flexion contractures, and hand clawing, which are common in patients with neurological impairments.
5. Easy Application and Care
Designed with ease of use in mind, caregivers and clinicians can apply and remove the orthosis without difficulty. It is also easy to clean and maintain, ensuring hygiene and durability.
