The process

How an orthosis gets made

Referral and insurance

Your doctor sends orders and insurance information to our referral fax line, and our insurance verification team works with your therapist to lower your out-of-pocket cost. Sometimes a custom orthosis is approved for less than one off Amazon.

Initial assessment

A certified hand therapist evaluates your condition and determines the type of splint that will help most.

Fabrication

Your therapist takes measurements and molds a custom splint, often thermoplastic, to fit your hand or elbow exactly.

Fitting and adjustment

A fitting session makes sure it is comfortable and effective. Adjustments happen as you heal and as your doctor’s recommendations change.

Who does this work

Certified hand therapists and occupational or physical therapists with specialized training, working closely with hand surgeons.

Why customization matters

Custom orthoses offer a specificity over-the-counter options cannot match, with support tailored to your needs for a quicker recovery.

Custom vs. off the shelf
