and finger joints (only applies to 50P11) after fractures and luxations or following the wrist, carpal and
metacarpal operations. For treatment of acute irritations (such as carpal tunnel syndrome), wrist arthroses

5 Trial fitting, application and delivery of the orthosis
The initial fitting and application of the Manu Immobil and Manu Immobil Long Wrist positioning Orthoses
must only be carried out by qualified personnel. The orthoses are delivered closed and ready for trial fitting
and are already preset in a functional position.
If necessary, the orthopedic technician can perform individual adjustment (± 20°) in the area of the wrist
and metacarpophalangeal joints. The stamped lines on the underside of the orthosis mark the area where
the orthosis can be cold-shaped.
Note:
Use a level support surface for adjusting the orthosis. Shape carefully, step by step, applying
the pressure directly on the inner, centrally positioned steel splint. Repeated adjustment should
be avoided.
To apply the orthosis, adjust the fixation straps with adjustable direction of closure to the largest extent
possible. Slide the hand into the wrist orthosis from the back until the hand rests completely on the hand
pad. Subsequently pull on the fixation straps in the following order and close the hook and loop closures
(fig. 2 + 3):
1) Wrist strap
2) Back-of-the-hand strap
3) Finger strap
4) Forearm strap
The fixation straps, especially the back-of-the-hand strap should be applied firmly, without constriction.
