For Reducible Flexion.
Use the SIRIS™ Boutonniere
Splint to correct a reducible boutonniere or mallet
finger deformity. The wearer can adjust this splint
to hold the finger in position and provide varying degrees
of extension
mobilization.
For Mild to Moderate Non-Reducible Flexion.
Use the SIRIS™ Boutonniere Splint to correct a
mild to moderate non-reducible
boutonniere or mallet finger contracture
(less than 25 degrees). When using the SIRIS™ Boutonniere
Splint for a non-reducible deformity, the individual
ring sizes must be larger than normal since the splint
must accommodate the contracture.
On Large Finger Joints. Use the SIRIS™ Realignment
Splint for enlarged or fusiform-shaped
PIP joints. The orientation
of the spacer between the two rings holds them farther
apart for better leverage at a more comfortable angle.
For Severe Flexion. We do not recommend SIRIS™
Splints for severe flexion
contractures (greater than 25 degrees). Use serial casting,
dynamic splints, or gutter splints to reduce the contracture
prior to ordering SIRIS™ Splints.
Adjust For Leverage and Fit. During use, the
wearer can adjust these splints for comfort by squeezing
the rings together to allow for more flexion or spreading
them apart for more extension. To put the splint on
over a flexion deformity, squeeze the rings together,
put the splint on sideways and rotate it up over the
joint.
