Hand & Wrist Splint Module
Remove the plaster and thermoplastic moulding step: forearm and hand are captured in one pass, bony prominences are flagged on the pressure map, and the splint is designed together with its relief zones.
Key Features
- Forearm and hand scanning
- Pressure and relief analysis
- Volar splint design
- Versioned revisions
Pressure-mapped design
Thumb left free
No re-scan needed
From forearm scan to splint: design with the pressure map
In hand and wrist orthoses, contact distribution decides the outcome. Scroll from scanning to pressure analysis, volar splint geometry and production.

Forearm and hand scan
Forearm, wrist and hand are captured in a single pass with the wrist in its functional position. Plaster and thermoplastic moulding steps disappear.

Sample case data — for illustration
1. Scan — Forearm and hand scan
Forearm, wrist and hand are captured in a single pass with the wrist in its functional position. Plaster and thermoplastic moulding steps disappear.
2. Analysis — Pressure and relief map
Bony prominences such as the ulnar styloid and the thenar area are marked as high pressure, while the volar groove is flagged for relief. This determines where the splint contacts and where it clears.
3. Design — Volar splint, thumb free
The splint wraps only the palmar surface, ends at the MCP line and leaves the thumb free — grip is preserved. Relief zones are built into the geometry.
4. Production — Production and delivery
The approved splint is sliced and produced lightweight, perforated and washable. When a revision is needed, a new version comes off the same scan.
