Features

  • Fast disconnection and reconnection of the elements by Coniungi joints. Those allow the combination elbow-wrist orthosis to be converted immediately into a hand-wrist or an elbow orthosis
  • Variable length between pivotal points
  • Individual adjustment of the spring tension
  • Spring tension can be switched on and off without tools and without varying the set spring tension
  • Infinitely variable adjustment of the redression range between -15° and +30°
  • Individual adjustment of shells in position and shape
  • High wearing comfort due to air-permeable, light-weight aluminium shells

Mode of operation

The CDS® Paediatric Combination Elbow / Wrist Brace can be used to treat an extension deficit of the elbow and an extension deficit of the wrist.
The dynamic stretch stimulates the healthy growth of the shortened tissue.
