Metacarpal splint UGMO

SLM

With FastForm®, you can treat your patients cost effectively, with our ultra moldable products that provide a perfect fit and superior comfort from injury to recovery. The FastForm® Universal Gutter Multifunctional Orthosis (UGMO) is revolutionizing the treatment of meta carpal and phalangeal fractures and tissue traumas. The UGMO can be used as a splint, cast or brace and is quick, easy and clean to apply. FastForm®’ s revolutionary technology is based on a highly conformable thermoplastic (PolyTrexX®) combined with an effective wicking and fast-dry liner (DermaWick®). When heated, PolyTrexX® is highly conformable (plaster–like). Once molded to the desired position and shape, PolyTrexX® rapidly reverts to a high strength, ventilated immobilizer that’s radiolucent. The FastForm® UGMO uses the same technology used in its SAMO orthosis which in a study was shown to produce effective fracture immobilization and acceptable radiological outcomes. 1 The adjustability and easy removal may suit a wider spectrum of patients. A SUPERIOR ALTERNATIVE TO CONVENTIONAL CASTING The Universal Gutter Multifunctional Orthosis overlapping design and tension strap allows for either pressure relief from swelling or soft-tissue compression to increase limb stiffness. Built-in hinges (easy on/off) enhance patient comfort and routine hygiene, while the compliance-lock deters tampering. Inventory is reduced as a single UGMO can be used as an Ulnar or Radial Gutter for both RH and LH applications. (4 in 1 design).
