How to use Rolyan Anti-Spasticity Ball Splint?

Wrist Strapping

• These splints include a padded Polyform wrist brace, which may be heated and molded to the hand
• Place it on the dorsal surface of the wrist with the longer edge placed distally and the padded side toward the skin
• Mold it to the wrist
• Position the wrist stabilizing strap, threaded through the padded brace, around the wrist

Modification

• Rolyan Splint, which is made from 1/4" (3.2mm) Polyform splinting material, can be modified for a better fit
• Heat the area to be modified using a heat gun or water that is heated to 150 degrees to 160 degrees F (65 degrees - 70 degrees C) for one minute or until pliable
• Heating the entire splint may cause it to lose its preformed shape
• Polyform has a high degree of drape - for better results when modifying the material, shape it with stroking movements
• Do not heat any of the splints near the rivet that holds the straps in place

Finger Strapping
