How to use Rolyan Polyform Walker Hand Splint?

• Splint should be positioned over the walker handle so that the thumb fits into the side opening.
• Attach the hook tabs to the underside of the splint where it curves away from the walker and attach the strap to one of them.
• Place the splint over the walker handle
• It should be snug enough so it does not rotate on the walker handle and at the same time it should be loose enough to be removed without excessive effort.
• If the Rolyan Walker Splint requires adjusting, spot heat the polyform splint with a heat gun or in a heat pan of water at a temperature of 150 degree to 160 degree F (65 - 70 degree C) until pliable.
• Heating the whole splint may cause it to lose its performed shape.
• Kushionflex pad can be placed where the heel of the hand rests on the splint.
• Trim it to fit as required before applying the self-adhesive back to the splint.
