For Mild to Moderate Hyperextension. Use the
SIRIS Swan Neck
or SIRIS Spiral Splint for mild to moderate hyperextension
(less than 30 degrees) of the IP
joint of the thumb. This will greatly improve power
and prehension
of the thumb by stabilizing the joint without limiting
flexion.
For Severe Hyperextension. Use the SIRIS
Boutonniere
Splint, worn with the spacer under the IP joint, for
more severe hyperextension (greater than 30 degrees).
This splint allows full flexion while positioning the
two rings farther from the joint for better leverage
at a more comfortable angle.
For General IP Instability. Use the SIRIS
Spiral Splint to treat lateral
instability and hyper-extension of the IP joint of the
thumb. This splint allows full flexion and has the greatest
adjustability for enlarged joints. The spirals can be
loosened or tightened, they can be spread apart or compressed
to change the length, and the entire splint can be bent
to adjust the angle at which the joint is held. Since
this splint blocks hyper-extension and corrects deviation,
prehension is more powerful and less painful.
For IP Lateral Deviation. Use the SIRIS
Lateral Support Splint for lateral
deviation of an
IP joint that is not enlarged. Use the SIRIS Boutonniere
Splint, worn with the spacer on the side, for lateral
deviation of an enlarged IP
joint.
For IP Extension Mobilization. The SIRIS
Boutonniere Splint is another option for providing extension
mobilization of the IP joint of the thumb. When
the spacer is positioned on top of the IP joint, flexion
is blocked.
