5) Adjust the Slotted Pulleys
Place the hand in the splint. Loosen the set-screws of the slotted
pulley (II.) with the hex wrench to allow adjustment in proximaldistal and radial-ulnar directions. Once in correct finger alignment,
secure the pulley using the hex wrench. Note: Approximately
3/4" (1.9cm) rotational proximal-distal adjustment is available by
twisting the pulley to obtain the proper 90° outrigger line alignment
to the proximal phalanges.
6) Add Radial Outrigger Bar Attachment (optional)
This special attachment is used as a counterforce when a finger(s) is ulnarly rotated or deviated (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2). It may also be used to
extend the thumb (Fig. 3). Place the radial outrigger bar attachment (VI.) directly over the radial bend (corner) in the main outrigger bar. This
placement gives extra stability to prevent the attachment piece from rotating. (Fig 1)
Bend the outrigger wire if needed to obtain correct alignment with the finger/thumb. Usually, this wire should line up to allow a perpendicular
pull to the extended phalanx of the involved joint. Tighten the set screw to prevent rotation of the radial attachment. Use a wire cutter to trim
excess wire length as needed.
Slip grommeted finger sling over involved finger or thumb. Use rubber bands to attach the finger sling to the end of the attachment wire.
