Abstract: A thumb brace (1) comprising a wire frame (2) having a palmar wire section (3) configured to extend in lateral direction from a web point (W) thereof between a thumb (T) and index finger (I) along a palmar region (4) toward an ulnar side of the hand. The palmar wire section (3) is connected to an ulnar wire section (7) and radial wire section (8), the ulnar wire section (7) being configured to extend from the ulnar side along a dorsal ulnar region (9) of the hand and wherein the radial wire section (8) is configured to extend from the web point (W) along a first dorsal interosseous region (10) of the hand. The wire frame (2) further comprises a ring shaped thumb wire section (11) for receiving the thumb (T), and wherein the palmar wire section (3) comprises a palm engaging portion (5) that widens in proximal-distal direction.

Abstract: An orthosis (1) for support of a patient's wrist, hand and/or fingers, comprising a substantially rigid wire frame (2) which is shaped and configured to directly engage a patient's wrist, hand and/or fingers in snug fashion for support thereof. The wire frame (2) comprises one or more longitudinally extendible and retractable wire frame adjusters (3) for loosening or tightening the wire frame (2), wherein each of the wire frame adjusters (3) comprises a first frame end section (4) and a second frame end section (5) in side-by-side engagement, wherein the first and second frame end sections (4,5) are laterally immovable whilst being longitudinally movable with respect to each other. Each of the wire frame adjusters (3) is positioned at a predetermined location with respect to the wire frame (2) for providing longitudinal extension and retraction thereof at the predetermined location.

Abstract: A wrist orthosis (1) for support of a patient's wrist, comprising a wire frame (2) for engagement with a forearm (F), wrist (W), and hand (H) of a patient, the wire frame (2) comprising a radial wire section (3) configured to extend in a distal direction along the forearm, wrist and toward a radial side of the hand. The radial wire section (3) is connected to a palmar wire section (4) configured to extend in lateral direction from the radial side of the hand along a palmar region (6) thereof toward an ulnar side of the hand. The palmar wire section (4) is connected to an ulnar wire section (5) configured to extend from the ulnar side of the hand in proximal direction toward an along the wrist and forearm. The radial and ulnar wire sections (3,5) are laterally spaced apart along an intermediate dorsal region (7) of the hand.
