Video Transcription

Video Summary

To fit the X-OS wrist brace, first measure your hand above the knuckles using the X-OS measuring tape or a standard tape measure. Find the corresponding size in the product catalog. Unpack the brace and use the BOA reel to release the tensioning wire. Tent and heat the brace in the X-OS oven at medium temperature for 3-5 minutes. Form the heated brace around the patient's hand, ensuring proper thumb placement, then lock and tension the BOA reel. Apply pressure to mold the brace, particularly along the palmar crease, and allow it to cool for 3-4 minutes. Adjust tension as necessary for comfort.
