Step 1
Size it
Choose the variant and size. The pre-cured immobilizer is soft and mouldable.
Intended for immobilisation of metacarpal fractures and phalanges of the first and second fingers while the thumb, third and fourth fingers stay mobile.
Intended uses
- Distal radius fracture with or without metacarpal fracture
- Non-displaced second or third metacarpal fractures
- Non-displaced second or third proximal phalanx fractures
Caution
- Not to be used where FlexiOH® would contact breached skin
- Align the bone before curing — the shape cannot be adjusted afterwards
- Single patient, single use; a cured immobilizer cannot be reused

Sizing

Application
Size it. Zip it. Cure it.
Step 2
Zip and lock it
Wrap, zip and set the limb. Align the bone now — nothing changes after curing.
Step 3
Cure it. Done.
Three to ten minutes under the RizyCure light. The polymer hardens into a rigid, ventilated shell.
Instructions for patients — recommended
- Daily activities that need minimal mobility; shallow pools and bathtubs
- Clean the skin in the open spaces regularly with a small brush or cotton bud
- A hair-dryer on the cool setting dries trapped moisture
- Elevate the limb to reduce swelling
Not recommended
- Do not touch the outer surface during curing — it can burn
- No heavy lifting or strenuous activity; no unnecessary pressure on the immobilizer
- Do not apply or remove without your orthopaedic practitioner
- Do not peel the foam layer; keep away from fire
