Urias Pressure Splints
Urias Pressure Splints are made to be used to provide easy, effective positioning of upper and lower extremities. When applied to the limb, the soft inner layer completely conforms to the body, providing all-over, even compression. During inflation, pressure should not exceed 40 mmHg. Single-chamber splints allow air to be distributed evenly around the extremity for edema reduction. Double-chamber splints offer varying levels of pressure in two separate, individually inflated chambers. This design allows for specific management of excessive extensor or flexor tone. Sold separately is the Urias Pressure Splint Inflattion Accessories.
Counter Abnormal Tone Development
Following brain trauma, Urias Pressure Splints should be applied to counter abnormal tone development. These splints discourage spasticity, improve movement patterns, reduce edema, and expedite weight bearing capabilities. This dynamic force is able to strengthen sensory through recovery and stimulation.
Reducing Deformity
Where a contracture is already present, Urias Pressure Splints may be used to stretch and gradually reduce deformity. Contractures are able to form in the muscles tendons, ligaments, or skin. Contractures restrict normal range of motion, while causing additional discomfort.
