FREEDOM® comfort Boxer Fracture Prefab Orthosis with MP Extension is ideal for quick and efficient immobilization of common metacarpal fractures. The rigid Kydex® shell immobilizes and protects the fracture and surrounding joints. T-Foam™ padded liner ensures even further comfort, along with support and conformity to the fracture volume. MPs are positioned in extension. In difficult-to-fit instances, the shell may be gently heated (with heat gun) and reshaped to accommodate swelling. Black.

Fitting Instructions: Adhesive-backed, pressure-sensitive padding is included with each orthosis to allow angular corrections to be made to the fracture site.
