Colles Fracture Brace
(Discontinued)
Two part design controls wrist position, while permitting partial range of motion for the wrist, elbow and fingers. Highly adjustable, allowing for volumetric changes in soft tissue associated with fracture healing. Eliminates the need for serial casting. Anatomical and biomedical design considerations place the hand in a supinated position with ulnar deviation. Soft tissue compression and proper suspension of the brace over the fracture area is maintained, as volumetric adjustments are accommodated. An interosseous groove is incorporated into the brace to aid in fitting and controlling relative rotation of the ulna and radius. Fitting instructions detailing CFB fitting and hygiene are included with each CFB to help insure patient compliance.
Suggested L-Code: L3982
Indications
Treatment of fractures of the distal radius after maintenance reduction.
