How To Use Rolyan Sof-Stretch Splint?

1. Hold the proximal and distal pads and gently slide the splint onto the finger.

• The positioning of the proximal pad depends on which splint is being used.
  Rolyan Sof Stretch Extension Splint: position the proximal pad on the volar aspect of the MCP head
  The Rolyan Sof Stretch Short Extension Splint (both styles): position the proximal pad distal to the volar aspect of the MCP head
• The distal pad should rest at or proximal to the DIP joint, and the dorsal pad should be proximal to the PIP joint.

2. To increase the force of extension, with the splint of the finger apply pressure to the volar pads, bending them away from each other and flattening the splint.
3. To decrease the force of extension, with the splint of the finger squeeze the two volar pads together under the dorsal pad.
4. The width of the splint can be increased by stretching the wires laterally. Do not attempt to make major modifications in the splint instead, use a different size.
