Features specific to the product:

  • After the anatomical points are set, the TwikFit platform optimizes the brace to the 3D scan and makes it fit meticulously around the hand.

  • The wrist or thumb brace thickness can be adjusted to create a cast that fully immobilizes the hand or wrist to create a splint that supports it.  

  • The location of locking mechanisms can be changed depending on the patient’s needs. 

  • The length of the brace can be extended along the arm. 

  • A cut-out area can be left at fixed bony prominences for improved patient comfort. 

  • Feature soon to be released: the size and location of cut-out areas can be freely defined. For example, to leave holes where a patient has a wound.
