SaeboStretch Dynamic Resting Hand Splint

The SaeboStretch is a revolutionary and award-winning dynamic splint/hand brace for individuals suffering from neurological injuries, such as stroke. The splint helps to prevent joint damage while improving and maintaining range of motion.

Protects your Joints:

• Traditional splints are made from hard/rigid material, like plaster or fiberglass, that don’t allow the fingers to move. The SaeboStretch has a unique dynamic hand plate that allows the fingers to more easily flex and extend as muscle tone increases. This stretch technology safely repositions the fingers back into extension. The SaeboStretch also includes three different hand plates that offer various levels of resistance so you can further match your specific needs.

Positions the Hand:

The SaeboStretch provides maximum positioning using the following:

• Proprietary new strapping system that utilizes key anatomical points of control to maximize control and ensure a customized fit.
• Malleable wrist plate and thumb mount allow you to further customize the fit.
• New non-slip strap material and design helps keep your fingers in the desired position.
• Breeth-O-Preen covering allows moisture to wick away, enhancing skin integrity and hygiene.
• Palmar arch padding to helps maintain the integrity of the palmar arch.

• The SaeboStretch uses a revolutionary stretch technology, which allows the fingers to release from flexion caused by abnormal reflexes and increased tightness of the hand. Once released, the fingers gradually return to the desired resting position.
• The stretch technology assists in preventing or reducing joint damage and pain. With hard static splints, there is increased pressure at the finger joints. The dynamic, flexible SaeboStretch hand plates reduce the pressure at the joints by allowing the hand plates to bend with the fingers when muscle tone increases.
• The SaeboStretch includes three interchangeable dynamic hand plates that can accommodate various levels of spasticity, allowing it  to be beneficial for varying degrees of stiffness. It also allows you to decrease the resistance as your flexibility begins to improve.
• The SaeboStretch has a unique, durable, and comfortable strapping system designed to maximize finger positioning and keep the fingers in place during movement.
• The wrist and thumb support components are easily bendable. The SaeboStretch places the wrist and fingers in a position that is best for accommodating changes as you progress.
• The SaeboStretch is made of soft and flexible materials, allowing it to be worn for numerous hours and while sleeping to obtain the maximum benefit and preserve the integrity of the skin.

• Those who have suffered a neurological injury such as stroke, develop increased tightness in the hand, known as contractures. If the hand is not maintained in an optimal position, the muscles can shorten over time, become painful and further limit the ability to regain hand function during recovery.
• The SaeboStretch is designed for individuals that have experienced a neurological injury such as a stroke, head injury or spinal cord injury.
• The SaeboStretch benefits clients whose hand has minimal to moderate stiffness but is able to open their hand flat with assistance.
•  SaeboStretch is an excellent splint for preventative use. If a client has just suffered a neurological injury, has no stiffness, and their hand is loose, the SaeboStretch can help prevent stiffness by keeping the hand in a resting and stretched, functional position.
• Consistent users see immediate results and quicker pain relief. For others, results may vary and require more time.
• SaeboStretch is made of a removable, washable material that can easily be cleaned after regular use.

• Once your client receives the SaeboStretch, their therapist will create a wearing schedule that will best meets their needs.
• The wearing time of the SaeboStretch can gradually increase. Initially, the splint is worn only during the day; once tolerated well, it can be worn at night, too.
• Since the SaeboStretch comes with interchangeable plates, the resistance can be customized to your your client’s changing needs.
• The SaeboStretch has a soft, flexible strapping system that is attached to the hand plate. This prevents straps from getting lost and allows for greater ease in attaching the splint, making it easier for your client to wear the brace.
• Over time, the client will notice their hand in a more relaxed position, which reduces pain and allows the hand to participate in more therapeutic activities.

• Clients that may not be appropriate for the SaeboStretch typically exhibit one or more of the following:
  • Severe joint deformities of the hand.
  • Severe tightness in the hand and wrist.
  • Severe swelling in the hand or wrist or severe wrist pain.
  • Open wounds or compromised skin integrity.
