Swibrace offers made-to-measure orthoses for a wide range of orthopaedic, traumatic and post-operative indications. Our splints are designed to meet medical needs and to ensure patient comfort and recovery.

Precautions All Swibrace splints are comfortable. The patient should not feel any pain under the splint, nor swelling or cynosis (red or purple colour) of the fingers. In the event of pain, swelling of the fingers or abnormal colouring of the fingers, the brace should be considered unsuitable. This problem could be linked to an inadequate scan of the limb from which the splint was generated, or to an evolving cause of swelling. In all cases, the patient should immediately reconsult the medical team who prescribed the brace. Do not leave the brace in a car in summer, as the high heat in the vehicle could deform it.

Notes for healthcare professionals For wrist immobilisation splints, to avoid pressure on the ulnar head, it may be useful to scan the limb with a small layer of rehabilitation paste ("Putti") on the skin at this level. If the wrist or fingers are swollen at the time of the scan, there is a risk that the splint will be too wide when deflated, so wait a few days before ordering the Swibrace splint. Please also note that although our splints do not generally need to be modified during treatment, as they are perfectly anatomical, if this should prove necessary, they can be deformed under heat (hot water or hot air).
