Dynasyst Orfitube Kit

Q & A

Size Chart

Orfitube is a thermoplastic tube intended for the creation of dynamic hand orthoses with outrigger and braided elastic. The tubes guide and protect the elastic and also, serve as a directional pully. The kit is ideal for patients recovering from a wide range of injuries.

Orfitube Kit Contents:

- 10 Orfitubes of 330mm (13") long
- 3 Different types of elastic thread with different degrees of elastic strength (on a spool)
- 1 Spool polyester monofilament for an optimal gliding effect (if necessary)
- 2 Bending wires

How To Use Orfitube Kit?

Insert the rod past the place where the tube has to be adjusted (do not insert it compeletly into the tube) and bend the tube firmly
Remove the rod from the curve and if necessary make a second, third, etc curve in the same way.
Note:
- When the curve needs to be straightened again, the best thing is to carefully heat the orfitube with a heat gun at 150°C(302° F) until the tube regains its original shape
- Make sure the tube is heated uniformally by continuously turning it above the heat source.
- In the event of overheating, blisters appear reducing the rigidity drastically.
- At higher temperatures (250°C (482°F)) the material will decompose completely.
- The tube can also be bent by heating it. In that event, also use the bending rod and take care not to overheat the tube.
