Device Description
The Direct Supply Panacea Resting Hand Orthosis with Crossover Strap (Model # DS-HRE) is a lightweight,
prefabricated hand orthosis featuring a malleable wrist support integrated with a resting pan that may be molded to
aid individual contracted fingers while helping to promote increased range of motion and extension. The frame can
support a relaxed hand as well as a more toned, contracted wrist. The soft goods are made of fabric for a soft feel
against the skin that may help wick away perspiration. There is a simple wrist strap and a color-coded, crossover strap
for the resting pan. This device also has a removable and washable cover.
Directions for Use
To apply the device: First, ensure the soft cover is properly attached to the device. Open the hook-and loop closures.
Carefully open the resident’s fingers and position the palmar section of the device against the palm of the hand.
Gently position the resident’s thumb under the pan. Fasten the hook and loop closure over the wrist. Strap hook-
and-loop closures are color coded. Arrange and attach the strap with the red closures and then cross over the strap
with the gray closures and attach. Check that it is secure but does not interfere with the resident’s circulation. Again,
check that the straps are secure but do not interfere with the resident’s circulation. Check the fit of the device on the
resident periodically and more frequently over time. Your healthcare professional may provide a wearing schedule
for your resident.
To launder: Separate the soft cover from the hand and wrist supports. On the soft cover, fasten all hook and loop
closures, place in the provided laundry bag, and launder with a mild detergent at a low temperature. Afterwards, rinse
thoroughly with cool water and let air dry or tumble dry at a low temperature. For the hand and wrist supports, clean
with a mild detergent, rinse with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth.
